Laser printers are not good for "photo quality" prints. You have to go with inkjet.

I've used Epsons and HPs for many years. Both print great, but the HPs always lasted longer. Less nozzle clogging on the HPs, too.

I have had good luck with aftermarket cartridges in both my Epson & HP printers. These aren't re-filled, they're new and half the price of the brand named cartridges. They're not available for every make and model, though... so you have to check to see what's available if you want to try the knock-off cartridges. Google up "compatible inkjet cartridges"

I've also heard that the new Kodak printers are good, and the ink prices are lower, but I haven't checked into them, yet.

Right now the only inkjet I have is an HP Photosmart Premium. It's a multi-function with Wi-Fi. It's 2 years old, and so far it's been great. I can buy HP cartridges for it at Sams Club.

A good rule-of-thumb is: The more you pay for the printer, the cheaper it is to use. In my experience, it's mostly held true.
