Printer (no tracking dots) and scanner for Trisquel?

Hello, is there any printer (without tracking dots) and scanner that works with Trisquel? Scanner is more important than printer just so you know though.
about a month ago i bought a hp officejet 6700 which works nicely, both, with trisquel 5.5 and also with my girly's ubuntu 12.04.
in trisquel i build the most recent hplip though myself.
also for scanning i needed to build version 3.4.2 of simple-scan to have it work properly.
at http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/supported_devices/index.html
you can look which model is supported.
what does not work under any GNU/Linux with hp printers as far as i got it, is scan-to-pc, which is not a big deal for me.
well as far as i know, the tracking-dot issue applies only to laser printers, but not to ink printers
h-node.org has lists of scanners and printers that work with Trisquel,
libre.thinkpenguin.com sells printers and all-in-ones that do.
I don't know much about the dots, they probably need special equipment
to be detected, so they aren't known for many devices. However, the
ones I knew about were only colour laser printers, so e.g. monochrome
ones are ok.
I have a CanoScan LiDE 110, it works in Parabola except for the buttons
(which are supported by SANE, I just don't know any programs that can
use them). My printer is Lexmark E120 (mono laser), not expecting it to
be still widely available since I bought it in 2007.
