You want economics . . . get something like the very inexpensive Canon
iP3000 (I don't think it's considered a photo printer) and run it with
3rd party inks, or refill your own if you're a handyman. These
cartridges have no chips or security. Using just a few sets of "non-
Canon-priced-inks" will pay for this second printer. For recommendations
of good inks, all you have to do is ask this group and you will get a
myriad of choices.

I run two photo/document printers very economically this way. And
neither has ever clogged using 3rd party inks.

I have not read the reviews since I am not in the market to replace my
HP990. If it is as good as that I would have not problem with it. For
a business inkjet printer I do not know what other choices that would be
better.
