My older Epson NX415 had the nozzles as part of the printer. It worked well for a few years, but I print seldom enough, and then in bursts, so that I ended up having nozzles get too clogged to get a good print and ended up giving up on it.
I didn't have any troubles with printing, but I don't know if I ever got the scanning to work right. I dual boot with Windows, so if things get too difficult I'll just switch over and take care of it that way.
