Not at all, the old, chunky office printers you get for cheap work even without any special driver or so, just postscript. (You might get better quality for pictures with the original driver, but for simple letters it just works.)
Edit: Where HP really sucks is the consumer market.
Currently kinda controversial, but currently it’s still Fedora, the xfce4 version.
I had Debian for some time before, but had my apt packages messed up a couple of times to the point I had to entirely re-install. In stable, I was missing sufficiently recent versions, in testing I had other problems.
With Fedora dnf I had less problems recovering, usually more recent versions.
Xfce4 is just more suitable for my needs than Gnome.
