both epson and hp are releasing new printers
I am told the hp has better software

they are 6 color machines that will be photoquality (an 8x10 will cost
about $1. each)
hp's are released for the pc only at this time and they are calling it
photosmart a complete system including a scanner street price complete
about $950.

epson is available in europe and when it comes here to the us will be
about 549.
