I managed to pick up a refurb HP C4180 MFD from an auction site for £30 plus £10 p&P. If you look around you can get some really good deals.

The Pixma Printers found on OCuK are all pretty good.

you would probably get better response for a multi purpose printer in the hard ware forums, you might get godo advice for a photo printer here though

A cheap Canon Pixma would do the job well.

Ive got a canon pixma 4300 and I'm perfectly happy with it, although i can't say I've really given it any sort of critical evaluation.

Good colour reproduction and detail using canon gloss photopaper.

My mum has this, i cant compare it to the others that have been suggested, but it prints b&w quiet and quickly, and the photo printing is fair. The ink cartridges are cheap but will only last maybe 40 colour prints.
