Slight tangent but similar request.

Rather than starting an entirely new thread, I thought I would just tag along on this one, given a similar query.

I am also looking to replace a multifunction printer and would appreciate some suggestions; if necessary, I would go with just a standard printer and continue to use my existing HP 7110 OJ for the other functions. The main stumbling block is that I have large Excel and PDF files which use both letter and legal size paper. So I need a printer which will hold both paper sizes at the same time and will swap back and forth between them within a single print job. I've tested or had someone test both the HP 7410 series and one of the Canon PIXMA printers, neither of which can handle the needed paper switching (on both you have to select a single paper size before printing). I've confirmed with an HP support technician that none of their Officejets have that capability. I do need some color printing capability, but for text and some limited graphics, not photos. I know the higher end HP laserjets can handle these functions, but I'd prefer not to spend that much. I'm currently using Windows XP, probably moving to VISTA by the end of the year, after it seems to be running smoothly. Wireless connection would be nice but is not mandatory. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
