It'd be helpful to get more info from you ...
* budget for printer and ongoing supplies, including whether you will use OEM ink and OEM paper
* paper size (is letter/legal sufficient?)
* fade resistance (pigment has better archival qualities)
* printing volume (print speed may matter, and the "duty cycle" on entry level SOHO printers may be inadequate for large volume)
* color accuracy expectations (CMYK may be fine, but high expectations may call for more ink cartridges like Red, Green, Photo-Light-Magenta, Photo-Light-Cyan, Gray, etc).
My observations ... YMMV ...
* Canon generally has the best reputation for photo printing with entry-level printers, but most venders have gotten better over the past several years, so the gap may not be significant
* Older Canon printers are also generally friendlier to cartridge refilling than other brands, if that is an issue (most new printers are increasingly hostile to refilling)
* Most (all?) printers don't care if you print from Mac or PC
* Most printers can easily handle 200 gsm
* I don't have any experience with printing on transparent media
