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*.
