Get a second hand printer with cartridges that don't include the
nozzles.
The printer I'm using currently has cartridges with the nozzles
included, but I found a good imitation with good ink for my HP DeskJet
600. It's a printer without colour and with low quality, but Gutenprint
improves the quality significantly.
I've got a ribbon printer, unfortunately I can't get ribbons anymore.
For many usages this ribbon printer would be my first choice. Not only
because of the less costs, I'm also missing listing paper for some
usages and this printer could use 'normal' paper and listing paper.
This ink cartridge issue is caused by criminal companies, we should burn
their factories down and lynch the management and marketing.
But if we did that, no one could make the cartridges anymore ... ;-)
There are a lot of replies to your request, I
don't read them, perhaps
somebody mentioned a printer that has got it's own nozzles?
If I recall correctly, Canon inkjets have the nozzles in the print head,
and the only parts you change are the ink reservoirs. I thought Epson
worked the same way, but haven't checked in a long while.
