based on this, I'd say HP:

ryan at vaio:~$ apt-cache search multi-function
hpoj - HP OfficeJet Linux driver (hpoj)
hpoj-xojpanel - HP OfficeJet Linux QT-based LCD panel display

We (where I work) have several of the HP 5000 series budget MFCs, the
_real_ ones that don't use GDI.

We also have a few of the T series.

You are welcome to bring a box in and play with one if you want to, I've
been meaning to see if I could get one running myself after stumbling
across the hpoj package while hunting for PCL tools last week, but I
really can't be bothered right now :)

Regards,

Ryan
