Hello Kathi,
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions!! I will write
down what you have said!!
Yes, I want the 'trans' option in the scanner for sure! :) I have found many
time that I wish I had that on my *old* UMAX. :(
Yes, I am looking for a printer that will print 11x17 black&white (grayscale)
magazine. I thought my HP 840 would or my Espon Stylus c40ux but I guess I was
wrong. Is it possible to find those type printers for under $200?
I would appreciate prices if you have the time to find them. I am wanting to
find a good 11x17 printer before mid-end July.
Thanks,
Melinda
