I love my Epson Stylus Photo RX620, available direct from Epson for $129.99. It's also an EXCELLENT flat bed scanner. I've owned one HP and one Canon and one other not worth mentioning prior to this and, although the others were supposed to be "photo" printers, there is little basis for comparison.

They have a new generation of "Ultra High Definition" printers that are supposed to blow MINE out of the water. All I can say is, they must be good if they are better than this one, as I am not interested in replacing it at all. They are showing 3 models - ALL for under $200!

The R260 must be the new version of OMG's R200, so it would be a GREAT buy for $79.99. If you don't want a scanner, I'd suggest the "mid-line" R380, which has an LCD display and a built-in card reader for $139.99.
The RX580 is also a flatbed scanner for $179.99.

What will you mostly do with this printer. For printing mostly photos, I would go with the Epson. I would also choose a model that have "individual" ink cartridges as it is cheaper to replace. The Epson Stylus Photo R220 is the cheapest of the bunch but very acceptable.
If you want to use it as an all-around printer with sporadic photos, then I would go with a HP. But again make sure that it has individual ink cartridges. The HP Photosmart C5180 All-in-One is a good choice as it even allows you to scan a document.
I can not recommed either the Canon or the Brothers.

It relies upon on the way you will use it. i've got had one Dell printer and it replaced into undesirable. HP makes the suitable printers on the industry and that they've many fashions that are much less high priced for terribly just about any budget.

Most small Canon printers have twice the resolution of the HP.

Sorry, these are companies not printers. High end printer or low end printer? Laser or inkjet? For photos or text? Archival photo quality or not? Large output or small output? Can't do much with a question like this.
