I'll be getting a Canon A95 soon and am in need of a good photo printer to go along with it. Thanks!

What format are you thinking about? Canon Selphy photo printers might be interesting for you.

You'll find that a lot of people here have had very good experiences with Canon inkjet printers. Any model starting with the iP3000 will give you good photos and be economical to run, and fast. The new iP4200, with long-life inks and whatnot, looks very attractive.

As tooki said, lots of people here like Canons. I got a Canon Pixma 4000 a year ago. It was $150 and I've seen it several times with rebates. That was the top Pixma at the time, but I think there's now a higher-end one that's about $200.

I love the printer. It does a great job, it's fast, it does double-sided text if I need to. I can't say enough good things about it. I've been very happy with it. (Though it does seem to drink ink. My old Epson does, too, though.)

Another vote for Canon, I have the ip5000, to put it simply, it's the best photo printer I have ever owned. Quite economical, and very quick on the photos.

Canon rocks. I have the i960 and the iP5000. Both are incredible photo printers both in speed and quality.
