I need an inexpensive printer to print out 11 x 17 color copies. Photo quality not needed. Any tips?

Most likely a color laser model.

Printing costs as a factor, and citing http://www.printerdb.com/ you'll want to consider the page http://www.printerdb.com/ColorTabloid.html showing per page printing cost to drop from 30 cents per page to about 19 cents.

It will not take long for a "cheap" inkjet to rob you of the initial savings.

I propose you review the models listed at http://www.printerdb.com/Spreadsheets/TAB_COLOR_LASER.xls and see what they cost in your area.
