I have 2 HP devices,
 the first is a perfect example of why I always bought HP
 the second explains why I will never buy another.

The first is an HP4050N, it’s an old B&W workgroup laser printer.
Bought it at auction 2nd hand, runs for ages on a refilled toner cartridge,
 networked, accessible to anything with a generic postscript driver.

The 2nd is an HP2510 Multi Function printer/scanner/copier/fax.
All proprietary drivers, they stopped producing the updates 4 iterations of MacOS ago.
I can only scan using Vuescan (a brilliant piece of software, never regretted buying it).
Expensive cartridges, hard to refill. No more HPs for me.

The Fuji Xerox cm305df sounds interesting…
