I would second that.
I've printed some photos on HP 2550n on a letter size, and 
it looks much better then home-quality el-cheapo inkjet printers.

The print quality is not as good as professional inkjet printers 
or sublimation printers (Phaser). 
But it is very good, at least for bright colorful photos,
especially when printed on a good, high-density paper.

At work, we gave up buying inexpensive (even so-called "photo" inkjets),
as they don't last long, - either the head gets clogged or the paper
does not advance.
HP 2550L (letter/A4 size)
can be purchased for $370-450 (in the US), so it becomes more
affordable.. 
2550n (with the ethernet interface) is about $50-100 on top of that)
