Our Canon i865 has packed in after years of faithful service and abuse (forcing it to print cards on sheets of cardboard that were never intended for an inkjet printer).
Most of our photos are sent to a Swedish lab (Crimson - highly recommended) via the Internet for processing but we do need to print photos from time to time.
We also print all our own birthday cards, Christmas cards etc on high res card paper (no more abuse) and all the documents, maps etc that we can't avoid printing. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm used to Canon but I'm flexible.
I'm not interested in any kind of all-in-one machine, includning scanner, fax or anything else.

Yesterday we bought a Canon Pixma iP4700 and i think it's going to meet our needs very well.

That's bit more upmarket than the one we bought, John. Looks good.

I was going to suggest the Pixma mp140 it only cost me £30 but it prints scans & copies for the price i`m very pleased.

Sounds great Stevo but I've already got a functioning scanner so I just wanted a printer.
