Double doses of flaming orc poop!

My canoscan scanner that Strredwolf got for me a few years back, the one my brother decided to "borrow"? gave up the ghost in a rather spectacular fashion. The scanning bar stalled out, I could hear gears stripping, then the light bar itself...kinda exploded. It was stinky, messy, and rather hilariously entertaining...but it means that my best scanner is toast. Par for the course right now. >.> But it's okay. Still have the older dinosaur, so I can emergency scan if needed. But...well, with new art programs come new scanners, I guess. Need a nice large-bed document scanner for the line work that I color in programs. And still need that new program. ^^; Loads of work to do! Time to get on it. And yeah...feeling better today. Life...is pretty okay.
FA+

Scans up to 11x17, at up to 1200x1200dpi.
Prints up to 13x19, at up to Epson's 1000+x1000+dpi.
Has a rear manual feed, can handle up to 110 lb cardstock at up to 13x19, 'straight paper path.'
Has dual paper trays, so you can have 8 1/2 x 11 and 11x17 loaded at the same time, for ease of printing multiple formats without resetting paper trays.
(I do a bit of 'print shop' work at home, restoring old board/card games and making games accessories, such as customized card boxes, so this is all useful to me. might be overkill for others, though.)
(yeah, it also faxes, as if people still do that anymore, and also function as a standalone photocopier.)
If you prefer just a scanner, then I'm afraid I can't offer any advice. Oh well, at least I tried.
