Here's a list of linux supported hp multifunction printers (scanning supported by sane):

http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/inkjet_aio.html

This link was from hp itself, somewhere under the multifunction printers section

In addition to the 'sane' software packages, you will want to install the 'hplip' package as well
(if it isn't installed for your other hp printers already)

Happy printer hunting.
