The printer you choose would probably be influenced by how much you can afford. One feature you might consider is how fast the printer prints (pages per minute) in color, and the cost of inkjet cartridges (and whether you can purchase refill kits for them).
Since I must also use my printer for work, I have an all in one device - print, photocopy, fax, and scan - the HP OfficeJet T65. I have no complaints with this one - it prints color photos up to 8x10 very well. It scans photos very badly, but that doesn't matter to me as I have a flat bed scanner.
Also consider - print quality can also be affected by the quality of paper that you use. I personally use the Kodak Ultima High Gloss and Epson Heavyweight Matte picture papers, and am very happy with the results. I've read that one should use paper manufactured by the same manufacturer as the printer for best results, but in my area, the HP paper is more expensive than the Kodak or Epson paper
Hope this helps.
