Once a week I usually need to print on certain stock that is 9inches
wide by 12.5 long (just 1 page). I rather not buy an expensive wide
format printer that I do not need. I dont even need the whole page
printed. I am centering just a few words in the middle of the page as
a cover. Years ago I was able, probably not by design, to fit a page
like this into a printer I had. Any suggestions for models of used
printers that except page sizes such as this?

thanks in advance.

You could look for an Epson Stylus Color 1160, 1520 or a 1280. I
regularly use an 1160 to print on oversize sheets up to 13 inches wide
(although printing is restricted to a (nominal) 11-inch wide sheet.
Expect to pay at least $100 for a used one in good working condition
even on eBay however; since these are real work horses that were
manufactured with high-quality parts before they started making
printers that were "throw aways" like many are today that appear to be
put together with rubber bands and chewing gum!

My old laserjet 5P will take all sorts of sizes..as long as its below
the max size of an A4 or letter sheet..it might also work with 12.5
inches too.

A4 is 11.75" ..

Almost any A3 or bigger printer will certainly do what you want on
manual feed.

Just not sure that an A4/letter printer will..
