Hmmm I guess it depends on how little "little" is. Have you considered a low-end monochrome laser? They'll beat an inkjet on cost per page any day. Also YMMV but I personally found with everybody offering 4x6 prints for 19 cents each, I can't make one at home for that little--by the time you consider the ink, paper, time, redos from screwups, etc., and also the fact that I'm just not convinced consumer inkjet prints are going to last as much as good Fuji or Kodak photo-process prints. So now I don't do hardly any photo printing at home, and if/when I buy another printer I'm not sure I'll bother to get color.

My only advice is take a hard look at your ink costs before buying anything. Epsons have a great rep with photographers, at least the higher end ones do, but Canon makes some very nice ones too.
