Choosing between wide format printers usually comes down to width, condition, and budget. Wide format printers-often called plotters-handle paper that a desktop printer cannot, from all-in-one office machines to roll-fed workhorses. The four units here have listed prices from USD 240.99 to USD 439.99, a USD 199.00 spread, and their conditions vary significantly. Your decision is about which compromise fits your workflow.
Quick take
The HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 is the only multifunction unit here. The Epson Stylus Pro 9880 is the widest option, but it is used and may require maintenance. The Epson EcoTank ET-15000 is the only supertank model. The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF710 belongs in a repair conversation rather than a ready-to-print roundup.

Product notes
HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 Wide Format All-in-One Printer
The HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 is the only all-in-one in this group, bringing print, copy, scan, and fax together in one wide format unit. It also supports duplex printing and offers wireless, Ethernet, and USB 2.0 connectivity. Paper sizes run from A6 to A3. The open box condition means this is not a factory-sealed printer, so the tradeoff is in the packaging rather than the features. If you want one machine for multiple document tasks, this is the most complete match here.
Epson Stylus Pro 9880 44-Inch Wide-Format Printer
The Epson Stylus Pro 9880 is the widest option, with a 44-inch format and roll-fed paper setup. It includes three ink cartridges, and the title notes that it is working. The used condition brings a caveat: the printer turns on but may need maintenance for the print head, and one hinge on the ink slot cover is broken. That makes it a fit for someone who can handle printer service. If you need 44-inch output and are prepared for upkeep, this is the only model here that goes that wide.
Canon imagePROGRAF iPF710 Wide Format Printer
The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF710 is the repair-focused option. Its condition is for parts or not working, so this is not a plug-and-print unit. It is a color large-format inkjet in Canon's imagePROGRAF series, designed for professional print work. The practical use case is repair or parts: if you have the skills, this could become a working Canon wide format printer. For a shopper who wants a working printer today, the other three are better starting points.
Epson EcoTank ET-15000 Wide-Format Supertank Printer
The Epson EcoTank ET-15000 is the certified refurbished supertank in this lineup. Its cartridge-free EcoTank system uses supersized ink tanks and replacement bottles, so refilling is the regular supply task. It handles up to 13 x 19 inch output, scans up to 8.5 x 14 inches, and includes a color touchscreen. The limitation is width: 13 x 19 inches is a desktop size, not a roll-fed production size. If your work stays in that range, this is a strong fit.
Final recommendation by use case
For a shared office that needs print, copy, scan, and fax in one machine, the HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 is the most direct fit; the condition tier is the tradeoff.
For maximum output width, the Epson Stylus Pro 9880 is the widest option. Be ready for possible print head maintenance.
For the Epson EcoTank ET-15000, the ink system makes supply simple, and the output range covers 13 x 19 inches.
For the Canon, if you can restore it, the imagePROGRAF iPF710 puts a Canon large-format platform in reach.
Match the condition to your tolerance, and you will know which wide format printer fits your space.
