[PLUG] Looking for all-in-one printer-scanner device

Looking for a printer-scanner, as my brother's Canon has given up the ghost, and his HP flatbed only scanner has a flourescent tube which is fading. Sure would like to find one supported by Mint 18 (Ubuntu 16) with sheet and flatbed feeding to scan, and duplexed printing. What have y'all got for a
