Boaz, we have the HP OfficeJet 4255. It cost us 800 NIS at some online auction site. It prints fine in Linux and even from my Windows VMWare virtual machine. Setting up the drivers in Windows is a pain in the tusik (needs disk), but in KDE it is a simple wizard. The scanner works, it sends and receives faxes without the computer, and it has two print cartridges: one for B/W which was easy to refill with an ink kit, and one for colour. It is a compact unit, and we've had it for over two years. Highly recommended.
