recommend a good photo-quality printer

[RussD]

I currently have an Epson CX8400, which is a 4 ink inkjet system. I bought in January for about $80 and it prints surprisingly GREAT pictures - good enough to hang on the wall and no one can tell that they weren't printed at a photo lab.

Since January, I have purchased a laptop and I want to be able to print from my laptop without having to carry it over to the desk where the printer sits and plug in the USB cable.

I wish Epson made a wireless printer, but so far, they don't. I have read that Epson prints the best quality prints. I also want to go to a 6 ink system, as I have read those print better.

So, I have found an HP D7460 for about $150 that has a 6 ink system and is wireless. However, I have read mixed reviews. Some people say it is great; others have complained that the photos are not quite good enough.

There are a number of Epson printers starting at $100 that have a 6 ink system, but none are wireless.

So, I'm not sure what to do. The wireless option is REALLY appealing to me. But I don't want to buy a printer that doesn't print well.

Any opinions out there with these printers or any other?

My camera is a Canon EOS 40D 10 megapixel.

Oh, and yes, I'm well aware of the REALLY GOOD photo quality printers, but I just spent $2000 on a camera and lenses. I can't afford to buy a printer that is more than $100 or $150. Thanks.

how about a wireless >usb print server device instead? You get to keep the printer you have, and, in the future, wireless won't be a deciding feature you need on a printer.

From Linksys: Print server with multi function printer support...

and without MF support (must be a printer only)

Maybe you can get a wireless USB adapter for the printer?

Either one should be about $90
