I just do multiple scans and stitch the images together manually.
Or I use a digital camera, and say I'll get around to fixing the
lens distortion in software one day...

I do have a digital A3 scanner on top of a broken
photocopier/office-printer, but of course the software refuses to
work if the printer part doesn't pass its self-test.

They're ink-jets, newer models often use UV-curable ink. Once the
cartridges go out of production those large format printer models
go from expensive to cheap extremely quickly.
