I have the Canon Pixma iP 4300, which is an excellent consumer printer. It
can print on cds and vds (printable), has a paper tray, can print on both
sides automatically and has 5 separate ink tanks. It prints excellently with
generic refilled ink tanks (I have them refilled in an ink station close,
who also has a chip reseter), and generic photo paper (from Lidl, 4 euros
@100 4X5"). I estimate its cost 10 euro cents per 4X5". It can print up to
A4. The current model is iP 4600, IIRC.
HTH,
