thurlow,

I might suggest a good alternative to printing your own pictures. This may not work for you since you have already invested in a printer, but during my research I found this to be the most economical. I upload my photos that I want prints of to Walmart. At $0.26 per 4" x 6" print, I can't go wrong. I don't remember the exact numbers, but I would have needed to get at least 1000 photos out of a photo printer to get the per each cost down that low. Their site is user friendly and the best part is you can send them to any store in the country and avoid postage. This works good for me since the in-laws are in Myrtle Beach and we're in Maryland. I upload the photos, pay with a credit/debit card and in 3 or 4 days they pick up the photos.

You mentioned the percentage of pictures that you print, that's the greatest benefit of the digital camera. I take tons more pictures than I used to and only print the ones that I really like. No more paying $8 to develope a roll of 25 photos that I really only wanted 5 of. In 3 years, we have taken over 2000 photos yet with a 35mm, we would not have taken 200. I still have not spent as much on prints as I would have with those 200 photos either.

On the batteries, I use NIMH(Nickel-Metal-Hydride) batteries that are rechargable. They don't last any longer, but you can charge them well over 100 times. They are very expensive, but you get your money's worth in the long run. We bought about 6 of them with a charger 3 years ago and they are all still kicking. I carry 2 extra pairs in the camera case at all times just in case. Actually now that I think about it, those batteries last more like 100 pictures.
