Just some input on printing... if you have Office Depots and Staples then you are likely to have Print houses. Often called Jobbers these are small print shops that live on flyers and cheap print jobs. We have a club newsletter printed at a 'printers' as the editor lives in a rural area. You may have to design it in 11X17 and print it on 81/2 X 11. Some applications will break it down for this and you do a paste up. And the printer will shoot your output to create a printing plate. Sometimes they'll take on a job at a good rate as they like a repeat client.
I agree with Kathi that getting a decent 11X17 printer for little money is unlikely. The only one that comes to mind is one by Apple which was really a Canon BJC-820. It's a SCSI printer, connects to the Macintosh via the SCSI port. Interesting concept but as I remember they tended to waste ink each time a SCSI device passed some data along the SCSI bus. The Canon driver was better than Apple's based on faulty memory. Shreve Systems still lists them... low resolution compared to modern and where the ink carts would come from.... http://www.shrevesystems.com/inkjetptrs.htm if you want to have a look. Good luck.
