I have had a couple of HP OfficeJets over the last 20! years, and only a 
couple because they have been pretty reliable. Some 3rd party cartridges 
do work almost as well as the original ones.

My current OfficeJet is a 6500.

I would also add, not ever having owned a Fujitsu device, is that they 
seem also to be very well supported by SANE.
