You will probably be best served with an industrial label printer, I used one while working in a grocery store to make tags. They come in toner varieties, so no thermal paper issues, and they are made to be portable. That being said, they are not at all cheap or simple. You are wanting to look into two companies, Zebra and Symbol, specifically at their mobile printers.

The Brother PocketJet series of printers might have a model you like. I have never used one of the PJ printers, but I’ve had good experiences with other Brother printers.
Even basic A3 printers look like over 600$ . What’s your use case.
integrate it into a laptop so that i can print my notes and add it to my note book where i take handwritten notes (it’s size is also A3) while i am at work or class
Every printer I can find is either formatted for A4/USA Letter, or little photo printers that probably require proprietary software which I doubt would work with regular text. I know some of those even require proprietary photo paper modules, which is why I gave up and never bought one.
I had a Canon ip100 years ago, I can recommend it and they still make a newer one, but it looks waaay bigger than your target size. Good luck
100 years ago? damn are you a millennial?
a regular printer with A5 feed would do

I just use a syringe full of melted plastic while referring to the model on my laptop.
$1 scissors can’t cut through a normal printer. Even if they could, it wouldn’t work afterwards.
