John,

I put a similar request out on maps-l last May and got several
responses, most of them were posted directly on the list.  Do a search
on "Scanner & Printer" at:

http://www.listserv.uga.edu/archives/maps-l.html

and you'll get several responses, including a string with the subject
"Scanner & Printer  for Map Collections/GIS Services"...

My request was to find something that we could scan, print and copy.  We
ended up purchasing an HP MFP (Multi Function Peripheral) 820.  It
scans, prints and copies and has a maximum width of 42 inches.  HP no
longer produces this--a new line took it's place.  Generally happy with
it, although there's a lot to learn yet.

Best, Salim
