As we'll only be using this for printing photographs, that won't be an
issue -- we have a laser printer for text and black+white printing.

We did look at some Canon printers.
The only printer Canon claim to be of near-photo quality is the CD300
which is quite limited in what it can do --- 300x300DPI, maximum paper
