Then again, I got an Epson i250 from ebuyer for £30.
Photo quality (when used with glossy paper - 20 sheets for £10) is utterly astonishing for such a cheap piece of kit. I cannot tell the difference between A4 photos from my 3MP camera, and the enlargement photos I've had done for £10 each from Boots/Snappys/Jessops.
I think they only sell the i350 now, but you've given no idea of budget.

Edited to add - Use Boots 10p/shot all the time. Great service and very good value for bulk volumes

Agree with Hutton. Most photo print specialist stores will use a half million quid printer. Beat that with a dixons special. Put all your prints on a CD/DVD, take them to a specialist. Cheaper than you'd think, better than you'll ever do yourself.

Boots printer prints at 360dpi
Epson 5760dpi
Dixons special does it again.
Boots at 10p will always be cheapest, but that wasn't the orginal question, it would have been.

Where printers are useful is A3 and A4 - and A4 is over £4 each, yet good quality 300gram A4 paper is only 20p a sheet.
Thanks!

A good and cheap printer if you don't mind shelling out for glossy paper is the Epsom R300, also has builtin USB to connect a camera directly + memory card reader builtin... You can buy it online for as little as about 80 quid!
