Hp makes Photo quality printers now for around $70.00 check Sams Club and
Wal-Mart's. So they have broke the under $100.00 mark and this has been for
about a year and a half now. I bought a HP 842c at Sams for $84.00 And
unlike Epson's and alot of the Lexmark's you do not have to buy photo
Cartridges as they have the technology built in the printer.
Also they have a cheaper and better model now for under $80.00
We have had no problems making it work even with a prehistoric copy of
Stormix Rain Edition.
