I don't do too much text printing but have a digital camera and do print pics on Glossy Photo Paper both 8.5 x 11 and 4 x 6 sizes.

I expect to pay between $300 and $400 for a decent printer.

Please share your knowledge or experience with me :-)

First check the compatibility list. In fact is you can print it out, bring it with you when you go looking at machines. Parallel printers generally work fine. The only thing a little confusing is having to set up your network control panel if you are connected to the net with high-speed. Otherwise your lpd doesn't work. I'm told dial-up machines are not as fussy.

My Canon 4400 works fine. It picks up the colour commands with little effort. I have a switchbox and have an HP IIIp on the second setting. I haven't used it with 7.3 because I don't have the cash for another cartridge. Still, it worked great with 7.2.

Is there anything specific you'd like to know?
