What is a good low-impact network printer/scanner? [closed]

"Two points:

I have had very good luck with HP All-in-ones. I have an oldish HP 2110 that hase been working great for years. It's a USB printer that I hooked up a wireless print server to. A friend has a newer HP C4780 - it's small footprint & easy setup. HP printers typically are at the top of the charts at Consumers Reports. Disclosure: My sister-in-law used to be a firmware programmer for HP - printers & faxes.
I never install the printer software that comes with a printer. The benfit of the manufacturer driver is outweighed by all the trash that comes with it. On my linux, connecting up to a wireless printer via ipp is essentially automatic. I would expect that as soon as you configure your wireless printer to join the network, all the PC's on your network will be able to find it & print without installing anything. Worst case scenario, you might have to provide the URI to the printer, for example, my printer is at ipp://192.168.2.110:631/ipp/P1/"
