The other 3 choices were Lexmark (over my dead body) HP but the ink colors suck, cannon (no reason, just general principles) and all the 500 USD color laser stuff. If in fact there actually is scanner support from linux in any of these MultiFunctionDevices, I would be rather pleasantly surprised.
My HP C5180 works perfectly both for scanning and printing, plus I have it network-connected so other people can also use it. It installed trivially with hplip. I have no problem with the print quality but I'm not doing photo work. I would probably go for another HP next time, despite the horrendous cost of the ink cartridges.
