Printer Specification! Need Advice

[Bosty]

Okay, i dunno whether is this the correct place to post this

i officially blew my printer (Canon MP370) a few weeks ago
today i attempted to open up the printer, cause i took it back from Canon service centre, who quoted me $170, saying it's printer ink leak. crazy price.
anyway, opened it up, and i started cursing canon's printer manufacturing.
20screws out, almost a dozen mini parts out and i still havent got the core of the printer.

ANYWAY that's not the point

so now im looking for a new printer, multipurpose one
print colour, scan, copy, (no fax)
and most importantly, photo printing.

but i dunno wad specification to look out to have at least decent 5R prints. (is 5R the small one? i forgot)
im on budget, $250 liddat?

and wad to look out for the print resolution?
DPI ????X????

thx in advance!

Wow that sucks, I would recommend to buy a cheap printer, I use my HP PSC printer for my school projects and usually just get my ink from http://www.PrinterInkPrices.com, the problem with the printer you mentioned is that they are very expensive and even more expensive to fix if they have any problems.
