I bought a photo printer right before i bought my first digital camera, and I've printed about 100 photos in 6 years. Most of the time I just show them on the monitor or through photo-sharing sites. I do print some to give to friends and relatives, with the warning that they could fade in several years. Some workmates printed a photo I emailed to them and it's faded badly in under three months (probably inferior printer and paper). With pictures I took of family on my last visit to Panama (two months ago), I uploaded them to Costco to print (17 cents per 4x6) and picked them up the next day, then sent them off to them. That's much cheaper for my sparse printing habits.
