Chris G:
Your CEO sounds a little like the type that needs to be convinced that IT can actually provide value to your company and isn't just a "necessary evil" line-item on the expense side of the income statement.  If that's true, it could be tough to make your case.

That said... if you're serious about wanting some help, I'll be happy to brain-storm with you.  I would need some information about your company (size, industry, etc) and specifics about the project(s) you're looking at.  Not sure how much you could reasonably share with a stranger over the internet...

P.S.  if it's really a printer project, you're going to have to get pretty creative.  ;)

ChadTower:

IT is somewhat hard to really measure financially, sometimes.  Usually the best way to present wins to the rest of the company is to provide more at the same or similar cost.  They don't understand many of the values of IT until something goes wrong (which you don't want to happen), but if you can get them more than they had yesterday and make their life easier, without spending a huge amount of additional money to do it, that is very easy to demonstrate.

Havok:
Also, look to the company you are buying from. As part of their marketing, they will (or should) include a ROI - Return on Investment. Sometimes, if you are going to be their customer, they will do a free analysis or report for you...

ChadTower:

Having seen quite a few of those, they're never useful for very much, as they often don't stand up to practical scrutiny.  It's a good starting point, though, that you can expand on or tweak their concepts to fit your working environment.
