Jeff,
Go here for comprehensive printer reviews: http://www.photo-i.co.uk/
I have concluded after lots of time and $$$ that the three main brands, Epson, HP, and Canon are all excellent when used with OEM inks and paper. The ink prices are very high - no getting around that. I favor Epson for my work because I print panoramas and they are widely used for "art" printing and have been tested with lots of types of paper. If you spend over $300 get the extended warranty. Buy from a local dealer so you can get immediate replacement and help.

I know this is a chronically reoccurring topic, but the capability and price
points keep changing!
What is your current choice for printing your own pictures? (and while
you're commenting, could you please mention if the printer has wireless
capabilities).
(I'm really just interested if folks choices, and the range of printers
being used; but if you also want to offer some suggestions for me I'm
primarily interested in printing proofs and prints up to 8x12 but would like
these to be 'archival' quality).
Thanks.
