Rick and Rex, thanks for your suggestions! I had no idea these two options were available. I happen to have a mac and a pc, but neither are attached to a photo quality printer. If I go the printer route, I need one that will also scan and print, and haven't found a photo printer that will print DVDs AND has a scanner/printer. Does anyone know of such an animal?
