Saw this all-in-one Epsom printer at Staples, and it copies and scans 11x17" originals -- not just letter and legal.
I've owned nothing by HP printers for nearly twenty years. Where possible I get ones that use at-least one of the ink-cartridges used by my existing inventory just so I can swap and have less spares. I also like HP since I've had a good track-record refilling the cartridges myself using bulk ink. Some cartridges I get 8-12 refills before the cartridge irredeemably-fails.
I've been using HP9800-series wide-format printers for 11x17" design and construction drawings for almost 15-years. But the current one hasn't printed in-color in years, so I'm not totally adverse to replacing it if I could scan and copy 11x17: originals. Since I went into private practice in 2001, 11x17" has been my standard office-format for construction drawings, but I've had to travel to Staples or the local printer/repro house for 11x17" copies of free-hand sketches, scans or meeting record-copy mark-ups. Before the Staples was two blocks away so it wasn't a burden -- just a lunch-time errand. Now that I've moved my office it's a 12-mile drive each-way to Staples or the quick-printers.
I just don't have any track-record on Epsom printers, their reliability and how serviceable their ink-jet cartridges are. I had a number of bad experiences buying refilled HP cartridges so I prefer refilling them myself. Of the last 8 HP re-cycled inkjet cartridges I've bought through Amazon; 2 were empties, 2 failed to work straight out of the box, and another one failed within a week. Not a successful ratio of pass/fail.
How are the Epsom cartridges?
