well, after doing some research and reading through the service manual, it seems this printer uses replaceable printheads which takes individual ink tanks for black and tri-color. Would anyone happen to have a good source for reasonably priced Canon BC-11e printheads? I've still got a few sets of the ink tanks, but it seems I need a new head.
