That sure makes life easier.

I've had extremely good experiences with Kyocera printers. They are also 
available with network and PostScript modules. Quite fast, and extremely 
robust printers, with very low cost/page ratios if you have to handle some 
volume.

On the subject of A3 colour printer I've had some quite good experiences with 
Tektronix printers. I believe the brand got bought up by someone, forgot 
who ... They're more on the pricey side, but extremely good.

If you want a network printer, which I assume this one should be to make it 
available to a whole work group, you can also get one of those little network 
printer boxes (like a cigarette box sized appliance to plug between the 
printer and network). That's usually the most affordable and flexible option 
to network a non-network printer without making it dependent on the state of 
a computer it's hooked up to.
