I have three printers here including a high speed 2 sided Laser but none of them do a good job printing plain old 4 X 6 pictures. My Wife is always wanting prints so I guess I have to give in and get a dedicated photo printer. I am looking for quality prints but 4" X 6" format will cover 99% of them. It must be able to run off the native Vista drivers or a plain supplied driver (I do not want all the typical HP crapola). Cost is not a biggie but quality and reliability is.

I have not started to look at choices yet so I am hoping some of you can shortcut my search.

Is she printing from a camera? many will do it as a stand alone printer (strait from the camera), but they work with Vista too.

Thanks, this got me started.

She prints from her computer as she has started to learn Photoshop. Good suggestions, thanks again.

Pro quality, 4x6 photos you can print yourself

Fun, easy-to-use features — PC-free

Long-lasting results

Affordable, convenient home printing

Complete compatibility

Hope it would help!
