Do you have any specific laser printers in mind? Check online for the relevant printer user manual on the manufacturer's site. Then check the supported paper sizes and any configuration adjustments required for A3/A4 paper. For instance, refer to the manual from your printer’s ink jet model. http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06220009.pdf Look at the numbered pages 45 and 46. It’s also wise to review the user manuals for other compatible printers before buying. Pay close attention to any details, warnings, or restrictions that could influence your choice.

Sorry for the delay. We aren't planning on a specific model. With a limited budget, reliability and cost are my top priorities.
I haven't found A3 All-in-1 laser printers under £1,000. Ideally I would like to purchase one with ink for around £1,000, but after checking it's unclear if that's feasible.
I've seen refurbished or used options on eBay, though I'm not sure if that's a good approach.
Thanks
It really hinges on choosing between a fairly inexpensive all-in-one purchase for home office needs, which could save you about 100 pounds for toner cartridges offering up to 2500 pages, or investing in a full office machine priced between 1500 and 2000, using cartridges around 30 pounds that print 15000 pages. Refurbished units are a great choice if they’re from an authorized dealer. Buying on eBay is usually not recommended because you might receive a machine with worn-out parts requiring costly repairs or replacements. Many dealers lease equipment and later resell it at significant discounts. You might also consider the imageRunner series from Canon, which offers lower running costs despite being less expensive, along with support for older models. Samsung, HP, and Epson do not offer the same level of service or reliability.
