HP had been my go-to printers for the time I was still printing, maybe for a decade and a half starting around 2000. They "just work" on Linux systems with no driver downloads or other nonsense, including advanced non-printing features such as scanning. I'll admit that the build quality went down with every printer purchased, but that was an acceptable tradeoff for just plugging it in and getting to work. Not to mention that HP aftermarket ink is readily available and relatively affordable, especially if you simply refill the cartridges yourself (literally three minute job).

HP laser printers are fine.
