New printer
I recently bought a HP Photosmart C6380 All-in-One Printer from Amazon. It's been a few years since I've bought a home printer, and was stunned at all the new features. There's a 2" mini-LCD screen for both instructions and picture viewing. You can print directly from an SD card and it will auto-recognize the right side of photo paper.
Not earthshaking, but certainly nice to see a product that delivers on its promise.
