Filters--Artistic--Cutout might help as well. (Haven't used PS in a while; moved to The Gimp. I wish The Gimp had Cutout---it makes for some really striking images.) It works sort of like Posterize, but without the ugly grainy edges---it makes clear-edged shapes. Try it out; monkey with the settings.

Yup, I use Cutout in Digital Image Pro 10. Works quite well, drop the number of levels until you achieve the cartoony look that you want.
After using Find Edges, a couple of quick ways to reduce the number of colors:
Image > Adjust > Posterize
set to a low number of shades; will work with color or grayscale
Image > Mode > Indexed Color
set to a low number of colors; more likely to produce dithering than Posterize; change back to RGB mode before saving final version.
