Canon PIXMA iP4300 InkJet Photo Printer

Pros: Speed, quality

Cons: Size

Review: I have had this printer for about 6 years now and it is still going strong. The quality print outs in normal black and white and photos as well are just outstanding for its age. It is a very easy to use printer and paper can be loaded from the back...

Pros: excellent printer

Cons: A quibble: the under-computer printing feeder can't handle heavy photo paper, so just don't try.
