I use an HP PSC1510 for printing, scanning, and copying. I've had it
for a few years, always on a Slackware-only system (several versions of
Slackware), but used only its printing functions until recently. I had
expected to need to do quite a bit of research to get the scanning
working with sane/xsane, but lo-and-behold, when I finally got around to
being ready to work on that (by that time with Slackware-13.0), it just
worked ... (and it works wonderfully, I might add ...)

The downside of this anecdote, is that by virtue of it being more than
three months old (in fact, I believe it's more than three _years_ old),
I don't think you'll find an HP PSC1510 in any stores ...

I have a HP Deskjet F2480 and it works fine (print/scan) and
I am using Slackware 13.0 and have upgraded 'hplib' to version 3.10.5.
(just download the hplib tar and use the slackware build scipt to create
the package)

Found an HP Deskjet F2480. It scans, it prints on Slackware 13. I
installed hplip 3.10.5.

I have an HP Photosmart C4680 print, scan, copy. Works just fine -- but,
you need the current HPLIP from HP's web site. The HPLIP software that
comes with Slackware 13.0 (don't know about 13.1, haven't got it yet)
and build it with the hplip.SlackBuild from the ap directory is
Slackware source. You need at least hplip-3.9.12.tar.bz2 although
hplip-3.10.2.tar.gz is fine, too.

This is not an "office" machine but it's about $100 or less, scans,
copies, prints photographs and does a fine job with all them.

BTW you'll need to add any users to the lp, plugdev and scanner groups.

Hope this helps some.
