    Does anyone know any good photo printers for under $150? I was thinking about the Canon ip3000 & ip4000 after reading some reviews. I want to print photos but I also want a printer that is good at text and graphics. Basically I want an all-purpose printer that has excellent photo quality on a tight-budget. Is there any way to cut down ink costs for printers? Also, how many pictures can you print before you have to replace the ink? Any help is appreciated.

    The Epson R200 ($99), or the Epson R300 if you can afford the extra $30 ($179.00) Which gives you the option of printing directly to CD/DVD's also. If your wanting to do just Photos get the Epson Stylus RX500 is on sale for $149. You can also get the SOHO unit Epson CX4600 ($129.99) Its a scanner, copier and photo printer. Check them out, www.epson.com Best printers you find anywhere.

    epson stylus 890 or 900 are excellent photo printers. I used to work for a photographer for the film industry and thats all he used to print his photos, and they looked amazing.
