It depends on what you mean by "decent" photo printing.  But, in your price range: GOOD LUCK; obviously, you are thinking inkjet.  I have found Brother printers to be dependable and to have excellent phone support.  Lexmarks tend to be slightly less expensive; I have no idea about threir tech support.  And I have read good things about recent Epsom machines.

For photos the Epson Photo printers are excellent. They're a little slower printing text than a general purpose printers. You can see them here: http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/ProductCategory.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1777115121.1041294540@@@@&BV_EngineID=gadcgdeflklkbfdmcfjgckidnf.0&oid=-8165. The Phot0 820 and 825 should fall into your price range. The Photo 785 is an older printer that can print from camera cards. You can find the best price on www.pricewatch.com.

I would consider some Canon models. We recently bought a Canon S900 and really like it. It prints excellent photos on Canon paper. Operating cost seems to be less because of the 6 separate ink tanks. The S900 is going for about $249 nowadays.

Not all models have that many tanks but except for the basic models, they have at least 4 tanks. Might want to read reviews at www.cnet.com. Also check www.dealnews.com for deals that people report and the site is updated daily. You might find a deal on a printer.
