Printer suggestions ( AutoCad )

Hi there. Has anyone got a few good suggestions for a new A2 or A3 printer ? My A2 Canon BJ330 stopped after 10 years and I replaced it with a A2 Canon S9000. The S9000 has now lost it's head after 3 years so I'm in dire straights at the moment as I'm not able to do any printing ( AutoCad ) Feedback from the web suggests that it's not worth replacing the head due to Canon's prices ... that I can well believe. Colour is not too important .... more of a bonus really. My budget is limited in that it's happened at a bad time but I need to move quickly to get work out ... sorta like a Catch 22 situation. TIA. Bernard.

Bernard, I've been using an HP Business Inkjet 2800 for the past few years with great success. It prints up to A3+ (330x483). Some features that make it nice to use include rear and tray feed capability as well as separate, easily replaceable, print heads. My model has 2 trays, one loaded with A2, the other with A3. There are two on eB*y for $150US each. Paul

Maybe look around for a reconditioned or ex gov/corp A3 HP Laserjet? I scored a cheap 5Si which is doing great service. Toner module will cost a bit but good for 15,000+ pages.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far ... will have to file them for now. At 4 this morning I found a tip on the web about pressing the start & resume buttons with cartridges and head removed. Then installed old head followed by inks. Shes's working now but with a couple of black lines missing from a nozzle test .. not too bad tho. Canon South Africa wanted $218 for a replacement head and also informed me that they only had one in stock. For about $350 I can get a Canon iX4000 A3 printer !! Holding thumbs. Bernard.
