Kodak Easyshare Printers produce high quality sealed(smear proof) 5x7 prints as good as I've ever
had (matching Los Gatos Camera's work).  If you buy the $80+ package, prints are about $0.13 each.
 The small packages double that.  You can find them cheap on eBay with warranty.  You can print
directly from your camera although I haven't tried the PictBridge USB for that (I have a Kodak
camera that docks on it).

Kodak also started shipping a full size printer with the same technology.

All that being said, Kodak knows nil about Linux and their software for photos, while nice, does
some annoying proprietary things.
