HP is best at open source among its competitors. Unfortunately HP ink cartridges costs a fortune.

Brother comes in second, but both printer and cartridges tends to be expensive.

Epson has cheap printers and cartidges, but the open source drivers depends on a proprietary library and that is a problem for most Linux distributions.
