Canon PIXMA iP4500

from gismann, reviews.cnet.com
the ip4500 has a seperate black ink cartridge that is used for text printing...and prints text at a lower resolution(but still laser quality) in order to increase speed.
from no_floaters, reviews.cnet.com
i got the printer for $99 and this is well worth the price just for the photo printing quality alone.
from Callistra, reviews.cnet.com
canon’s set-up instructions are very clear and detailed, the provided printing software makes it a breeze for any level of user, and the photos just look gorgeous!

overall - great product, nothing fancy just basic printing needs with a little twist that it is wireless.
