Wide format printer.

My daughter prints a monthly newsletter using MS publisher on 13"x 17"
tabloid paperwith an HP 9600 printer. Said printer has about had it and we
are looking to buy a new one. We would like something other than the HP 9000
series and would be willing to go to 400 or 500 dollars if necessary. I
have heard good things about the Canon 9000,however, it and the i9900 are
primarily listed as photo printers.My question is: Could you use one of
these printers with the MS publisher program toprint a newsletter? I would
think so but want to confirm this. Also Does anyone knowof a relatively
inexpensive printer other than the HP that would be suitable for thiskind of
job. Thanks in advance.******************************Dave

While the Canon I9900 was an editors choice with PCMag it has now been
replaced with the improved Canon Pro9000. It has all of the features of
the I9900 plus improved ink longevity, maybe a little faster and it has
dual paper trays. It will provide excellent photo quality and very good
print quality and is faster than most of the other printers. That would
be the best choice.
