I am using a Samsung Color Laser myself, which I complemented with an older Canon LiDe 210 scanner.
You might want to stay away from HP, yes. (at this point I would like to try out laser printers aswell, since most of my printouts are text-only anyways).
Is there any printer I can buy where we don't have that? Maybe even with free and open source firmware? I don't want to be exposed to the despotism and arbitrariness of HP's inkjet politics and open source support. HPLIP used to be great open source software, but HP added proprietary BLOBs for Image Processing into it about 4 months ago, which makes it hard for some distros to recompile and distribute new versions of it (Arch patched out the proprietary blob). They only apologize to save their reputation during a media hype, but don't really mean it in the long run. Other users posted how their device stopped working in 2018 after automatic firmware updates as well. Back then, there was a big outrage in the internet, which forced them to say "sorry we will revert it" - but the revert never happened on my machine. So even if you had no Internet connection, but bought the device in March 2016, knowing and seeing yourself that it works with third-party cartridges, it would suddenly stop working in September 2016. HP automatically updated the firmware in March 2016, which disabled the printer when using third-party cartridges (refilled cartridges with new chip that pretends to be original) with a 6 month delay.

I used to like the HPLIP drivers for being open source aswell. The one I have been using is a multifunctional HP Officejet Pro 8610, which was lovely for 2-sided printing, scanning, automatic document feeding and wireless connectivity. I am planning on buying a new printer once my old one runs out of ink in a few months.
