I'll go and take a closer look at the Canon range: apparently the top of teh line MP970 is disappointing but the 5 ink only MP600R is getting good reviews around the world...

As you say, if you use HP's papers, you can get decent prints, but the C7280 is definitely designed more to be a good general-purpose printer that can print photos, not the other way around.

Not sure how HP does its colour management but I have been having terrible problems printing from one of the older generations all-in-ones: unless you use their paper you get horrible results. Even when you do, the only way to get close is to use sRGB colour space and to dump your finished photo on a memory card, then print from the slot in the printer. Any other setting from Photoshop, Lightroom or the computer's printing utility will yield inferior results. I have tried all possible combinations of settings, including al attempts to switch the printer's colour management off, to no avail... Makes me nervous to purchase another HP... It seems that Canon offers a decent all-in-one with WiFi but I guess you did not get a chance to have look at it. Interesting.
