I'll drink to that!  :-)  I have a Canon ip4000, which has 5 ink cartridges which you replace individually, rather than having to ditch a 
3-colour cartridge when the first colour runs out.  It does mean it takes half an hour to get it working from out of the box, with all 
those cartridges (and the separate head) and other parts to unwrap and install, but you only do that once!

And it has nice features like a CD tray so you can print directly onto those, and two paper sources (flat underneath and downwards into 
the top-rear) so you can have ordinary stationery always present, and insert special paper like labels, card, headed paper, whatever, 
without removing it.  and it has USB and Parallel interfaces, which it very handy.  Sadly it's been superceded by the ip4200, which I 
believe has dropped a couple of the nice-to-have features, perhaps to save costs :(

I used to use HP, but I have switched my allegiance (I believe Russell has rather gone off HP too ;-)
