I would consider myself an amateur photographer and part of photography is printing out photos. Granted I wont be printing anything super large, so a standard printer would be fine.

I used to have a Canon PIXMA MP830 printer, but after I broke up with my ex I told her to keep it. I liked that printer, it made good prints, was an all-in-one so I was able to scan documents/pictures, use the fax machine, etc.. So I will be using that as a base model to compare to.

What I did not like about it was the fact that there was no networking ability built onto the printer. Whether it be wired or wireless. I'd like to have all the functionality of the MP830 with the added benefit of being able to hook it up directly to the network. Preferred wireless, but wired would be fine.

I also liked how you could change the individual colors of the ink cartridges. Thus you only had to change the ones that was empty at the time. No need to waste ink, just because one of the colors was empty.

I haven't done any research, so I'm not sure if Canon has a better model out that does everything the MP830 does, plus what I want. Even though I am a Canon photographer, I don't necessarily have to stay with a Canon printer, but I would prefer to.
 
I have quite a few printers, but I just don't print much anymore.
 
I just send my pictures over to Walgreens to print out. Buying a printer for pictures doesn't seem that good an investment anymore these days.
 
My wife is a amatuer photographer and when researching the brands most use it came down to two brands- Epson and HP. we have the NX300 and its slow, and "clunky" sounding, but produces nice prints. OM normally has them for 49.99 (on sale).

Some people buy photo printers for convenience.
