I'm a Canon fan. Although the jets themselves are not in the ink cartridges, they're on a removable head assembly that can be replaced (slightly higher cost) as necessary. I have an older Canon inkjet attached to one of my machines -- not the one I work on most often. I had been getting by with copying files across the network to that machine when I needed to print, always intending to set up sharing of the printer, but hadn't got around to it. When I got a newer Canon printer, and attached it to my main workstation, the installer told me "Another machine on your network is offering to share a Canon printer of an older model (so I already know about drivers for that model). Would you like me to finalize the config so you can print to it?" That's *cool*.
