I'm a big fan of Canon printers; primarily because their cartridge 
prices aren't nearly as high HP and also because of the print quality.  
I have a BJC-2110 and a PIXMA 4200.

If, in fact, you are talking about a BJC-2000 series printer, the "inner 
box" with the print heads is pretty spendy.  You might try e-bay for a 
replacement printer.  I got a BJC-2110 on e-bay for $7 and swapped out 
the print heads and cartridges from it to my printer.  That's 
considerably cheaper than the $25-$35 cost for print heads.

Hope this helps...
