We don't use mono at home but just for your information.

At home, after years of expensive cartridges and issues with inkjets we 
went laser.  Wanted duplex as I print handouts that are double sided and 
duplex saves precious time.

We use HP Laserjet Pro 400's at work for personal printers.  This is an 
MFP printer.  If you do lots of scanning, the scanner is auto feed and 
duplex.

Setting it up was a dream.  Plug printer into the network, set IP 
address if you don't us DHCP.  Install hplip with yum.  Start the 
printer tool and find the printer.  You may have to put in the IP 
address of the printer.

For scanning, there is a file that the printer tool downloads from HP 
and installs.  Works with xsane.

My daughter purchased a colour Samsung all in one and setup it up and 
installed it herself.  She said it was easier than expected.  Plugged in 
the USB cord and Fedora 19 recognized it and asked to print a test page. 
  Done.
