<<I am planning to get into digital manipulation and improvement of my old and
new photos.  Before I buy a scanner (probably a negative scanner) and upgrade
my printer, I need to know more about what the acceptable dpi is for prints to
look like good quality photographs.  

Can anyone give me advice on this?  

>> I recently purchased the Epson Stylus Photo EX printer for $499.  It does
an amazing job of printing photo quality images on just about any paper,
including water color paper.  It is a 1440 x 720 dpi printer, capable of
printing up to 11.5" x 44" panoramic prints.  I haven't tried anything this
big yet, but the 8 x 10 prints are marvelous, and pretty darn quick.  If you
don't need the larger print size, you can save $100 by purchasing the smaller
version (sans EX in the name).  It works with both Mac and PC platforms.
