I'm going to buy a new printer. I'm looking for something that will give me good quality photos.

I've been told an Epson R800 (lower end of price scale) and Epson R1800 (higher end of price scale) are both pretty good? Any suggestions?

no but if you want something soley for printing photos get something that only does that, as something that scans, prints, copies, wipes your ass wont have as good photo printing technology, not for the same money anyway

That looks nice, and not too expensive What is the difference between the 3 Epson's to make such a big price gap?

Steve does what kind of camera I have make any difference when choosing a printer?
