I'm a big fan of the HP All-In-One Photo printers these days. I used to absolutely HATE HP printers because every single one I had jammed. Now I've got an HP Photosmart C4140 All-In-One that I love, and my mom has a Photosmart C5200 All-In-One that she is happy with too. Also, according to PC World's ink tests, HP wastes the least amount of ink too. These models handle card stock quite well, I've printed a bunch of custom cards for Magic: the Gathering, and also a custom playing card deck in the "Wanted Poster" style. It also prints well on envelopes, CD Label templates, Avery address labels, and more other things than I can remember. Just be forewarned, you have to buy a separate USB cable for these if you get one.
I've also heard good things (but can't vouch personally for them) about the newer Kodak All-In-Ones as well. However, according to the ink tests in PC World Mag, Kodak wastes the most. They had an average of 33 pages worth of ink left in each cartridge if I remember correctly. It was a lot. Or maybe it was 33%. I can't find that issue offhand, so I only remember a bit about it.
EDIT: The pic/card are from about a year ago, so she had just turned six. Isn't she gorgeous
. (YES I'm a proud father.)
