To my humble knowledge the situation is different.

HP invents new printers and the Windows drivers at the very same time,
but not the Linux drivers. After quiet some time the Linux drivers
appear in the hplip project at sourceforge -- or not. But in the
meantime, and this is typicaly the same period of time when a HP
printer is avail at the market, no one knows the future state of the
printer: will there be drivers (support) for Linux or not?

A good evaluation might be the price. Too cheap models will never be
supported, all others will (98% ?). Don't even think about the cheap
ones. :-)

I wouldn't name this site as first choice for support information
about HP printers. Till and his helpers are always behind the actual
situation of printers. Better use http://hplip.sourceforge.net/
instead. :-)
