I'm looking for a printer that's priced between $100-$200. I care mostly about the photo quality as I already have another laser printer. Any other suggestions? I'd also like something that works with OS X. Right now I'm leaning toward the HP. I printed out a test page and was quite impressed how fast it printed a quality photograph on regular paper.

    Go with the HP, higher text quality, higher dpi, and for improved photo prints you can switch the 57 color, pop in the 58 photo cartridge, and boom you have a 6 color printer. Get some nice photo paper, and your set.

    Thanks for the reply. I won't be able to get it for about another week but I'll post how it is.

    I find (very) annoying to switch cartridge if you want te print text/photos.



    My Girlfriend just bought a Canon S520. She's very pleased with this printer.
