  I've got a HP Colour LaserJet CM1312nfi that I'm using and works well. 
The scanner (and ADF) are supported by SANE and printing is supported by 
CUPS. The memory card reader is a CIFS share so that's supported also. 
It's a network printer so it's plugged into my LAN. I think most of the 
newer multifunction LaserJets are supported also if you don't need colour.
