anyone have HP photosmart printer?

Hi guys,
So my mom needs a new printer but wants the print quality for the the digital pictures to look nice. Looking in the price pt. of around $100-150 and in this weeks best buy ads they have a HP photosmart C4385 Wireless Network-Ready Printer/Scanner/Copier. It's $135 and was wondering if this is a good printer to do the job? If anyone has any other recommendations that would be much appreciated. Obviously i want the best bang for the buck and im assuming photosmart means it shoots out good graphics...hopefully Thanks for any help.

I have the HP 8450 and the photos it prints are pretty darn good. I use Kodak paper. Hope this helps.

I'm using HP printers exclusively these days -- I like their performance compared to a number of other manufacturers that I've tried over the years.

Currently running an HP Photosmart 8250 -- AMAZING pictures on good photo paper and an HP Laserjet 1200 -- old reliable, 98,000 + prints last year with only 12 pages mis-fed. Gotta love that (and I re-fill toner for $7.50 a pop on this unit!).

I've run Canon, Epson, Seiko, Lexmark, Kodak, and a couple of no-name units -- all are in the trash now.
