They're, indeed, pretty good stuff.  Even the ones that don't have great
PostScript emulation usually have a CUPS-friendly PPD.  I've been
pleasantly surprised with them.

That's tempting in a different way from printing on A3.  I have a
flatbed scanner for things that won't go in the document scanner (again,
music, generally), and getting that off my desk and into the print
closet would be nice.

Can't have it all, I suppose.
