Really? Official vendor support or unofficial community support?
I didn't find any official Linux support from HP when I was looking last
fall, that's why I went with Brother. Prior to that I've been an HP
guy, and have used a LaserJet 4 (which is a tank and went back into
service while the Brother was down) and various Inkjets (no comment).
But all of that was unofficial community support. There is admittedly a
ton of that and it's usually pretty good, but in this case I wanted it
to be officially vendor supported and to Just Work.
The Brother MFC-9840CDW I previously mentioned can scan directly to
X-Sane over Ethernet (or built-in wireless), or to SMB/CIFS, FTP, or
email and maybe other stuff I'm forgetting, since I only use it direct
over Ethernet.

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
