Greetings. I'm looking to purchase a new printer. I specifically
want one that will feed 11x17 paper. Is there a site that provides
ratings/prices/comments/etc. on printers that will let me "dial in"
paper size as a criteria so I don't have to screen the specs. for
every printer?

Alternatively, anybody have recommendations for a good, durable
printer in the $200-$300 or so range that will handle the 11x17 paper
(as well as std. 8 1/2x11, of course)?

You might take a look at the HP DeskJet 9300 at $299:

or the DeskJet 9650, a bit above your price range but which has improved photo
printing capability:
