I need a new printer - suggestions?

From experience I know that printers can be tricky in Linux. Brother is often recommended because they supply Linux drivers, and my last printer was a Brother, but all their drivers are 32 bit so I'll have to install multilib which is not advised.

So can anyone recommend a printer which works out of the box and doesn't require multilib? I will rarely use it so it doesn't have to be an especially good one. Not fussed about whether it's inkjet or laser.

Thanks for any advice.

HP printers have support for linux, using hplip. I have a HP ENVY 4520 All-in-One Printer wifi inkjet printer. It is a network printer. It works in 64bit on salix, slackel, slackware.
Here are all supported HP printers for linux.
Another one is HP LaserJet M110we.
