One thing to watch out for with any solutions regarding refilling carts, 
resetting counters on carts, or replacing carts with hoses and bottles, is 
that the print head does wear out on these over time (the best inkjet 
printers, IMHO, have the wells containing ink separated from the print 
head); the solvents (and the like) in the ink can cause the nozzles to 
start spraying too much ink, etc, over time and print quality will 
suffer... Laser's are better ;-)

Cheers,
