    A3 B/W Laser Printer - where to get quickly and inexpensive

    The title almost says it all. I am looking for a functional A3 black and white printer (laser) that doesn't break the bank and is available without ordering and waiting for a long time. Does anybody have experience with this?

    I am usually sticking to HP brand printers, but may make an exception with this as A3 is something I haven't used for ages and don't know the market at all.

    I need it quick. It's for printing larger technical drawings from PDF or technical programs (I don't think I need a plotter, unless easier/better cheaper, that's why I am asking).

    Thanks!

    I just realized the subject said A4 while I am after an A3 model. Brain fart I guess. Too late anyway, I am going to buy the first one I can find

    That's a colour printer, hence more expensive.

    Thanks Claire and Shri. I looked at these models today. The color printer was the first thing I found, but over $6k for the cartridges is a bit steep.

    The black and white 5200tdn is apparently a few days delivery and replaced with then 706 model posted by Claire (which has the networking but not the second paper tray and duplexer?. I'll see if I can get one of the two tomorrow.
