What office printer would you recommend for a graphics department for printing color ads and proofs of magazine and newspaper pages? NEED Postscript level 3 compatibility , Ethernet, good type output and a nice chunk of RAM (256mb or more). We previously had phaser 8200DP, but it's slowly dying. 11x17 and duplexing would be nice, but not required.

My HP Photosmart 2575 All-In-One printer is cropping the last 1/8" of all my printed pages! HP sent me a new printer and it's still doing the same thing. They are at a loss.
Is there any setting I can alter or configure in order to make it stop cropping the bottom of pages? This happens in every application I use.
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PAPER SIZE SETTING.
Here's an example.

I have a really squeaky printer. I tried WD-40, but the squeakiness comes back. One of my engineering friends suggested that I needed something similar to sewing machine oil, but perhaps a little thicker, since the gears are plastic. Any ideas on what kind of lubricant I should get? And where I could get it? Aside from the squeakiness, this REALLY is a good printer (Canon MP130), and I really don't want to get another one.
