Ever since I bought the printer I've been having problems, I can't get it to print correctly on 11x17 it's either printing off center or increases the image size by an 1/8" or 1/4". I've spoken to HP for over 8 hrs on the phone and they don't have a resolution to the problem. MacOS Sierra 10.12.6

Having recently told you about an A3 printer that was little bigger than an A4 unit here this is not only larger and faster it has two built in paper trays and can easily serve a whole office via Wi-Fi and Ethernet and even print remotely.

So far this is really awesome. I got it installed and it is running very well for me. it has a lot of cool features (like setting the printer to turn on and off at set times) plus printing on front and back.

This snappy and competitively priced wide-format AIO prints, copies, and scans well, but high running costs keep it from top billing.
