I have a Canon Pixma iP3000. It uses a cartridge design that goes back more than 10 years. As a result, many generic cartridges are available. I buy these cartridges for about $8.00 for all four colors as oppose to $12.00 per color! Also, the printhead can be easily removed so in the event of a bad clog, you can spray canned air to unclog it (you can't do that with an epson)!

The cartridges are: BCI-3eBK, BCI-6Y, BCI-6C, BCI-6M, which is used by many canon models. You can buy the generic ink from: http://www.supermediastore.com/canon...dge-combo.html. BTW, the prices may vary from $7-$9 bucks due to sales.

[EDIT]
BTW, the following printers use the same cartridges:
Canon Pixma iP3000
Canon Pixma iP4000
Canon Pixma iP4000R
Canon Pixma iP5000
Canon Pixma MP750
Canon Pixma MP780
Canon i560
Canon i860
Canon i865

Dont get anythign with like chips in the inks becuase that just proves they are trying to rip you off by not allowing you to refill and sometimes causes more problems .
