http://seaint.blogspot.com/2007/10/re-12-x-18-printers_4584.html might be the discussion? I ended up getting a Canon Pixma Pro 9000. Got it pretty cheap from B&H photo. Great for my home office to make 12x18 prints, great for color prints and I use it alot for letter size. Down side: pretty loud and like all ink jet printers, ink costs are very high. All eight ink jet cartidges must have ink even for black and white prints.
I would not recommend this for high volume black and white use. I think it would be better to get a laser printer.

I don't recall that particular discussion, but the HP 9800 Deskjet has been a real work horse for me. A couple times a year it will have a tantrum and suck through multiple sheets at a time for a day or so. Then back to normal. I believe its available for few $$ at Staples or any of those big box stores.

Subject: 11 x 17 printer
About a year ago, there was a discussion
on the best 11 x 17 printers. I'm not
having luck searching the archives. Can
someone point me in the right direction?
I'm trying to basically find the bottom
line to that discussion.
Thanks loads.
