Ask Engadget: Good photo printer for the parents?

Ask Engadget

Alright, Ask Engadget is back once again with more questions and answers. Last week we had a question from a reader who needed some help selecting a flash-based MP3 player for his girlfriend, this week's question comes from reader Amy R., who is looking for a good photo printer for her parents:

I really need Ask Engadget's help. I gave my parents a digital camera for Christmas two years ago, but hard as I've tried, I haven't been able to get them past the idea that you have to print out all of your photos and that it's perfectly acceptable to email photos or post them to a photoblog instead. They're spending a lot of money having prints made at a store at the mall, and so instead of trying to get them to stop making prints I figured I'd try and get them an easy to use photo printer printer that would hopefully save them a little bit of money, or at least save them the trouble of going to and from the store. Now I'm just not sure which one to get. Are the cheap ones you see from HP and Canon any good? Is it worth spending a little extra?

Any suggestions?
