HP Printers Question re cartridges

W

Walter R.

MY HP Deskjet 970cse finally gave up its ghost.

What I liked about it was that it used the HP 45A cartridge (big and cheap).
This cartridge has the printhead built-into each cartridge. Therefore, if
there is printing trouble, one merely needs to through out the old cartridge
and plug in a new one.

This is different from my cantankerous Epson printer, which uses different
ink tanks, but the printhead is deep inside the printer and very expensive
to repair/replace. I had this unit in for repairs and it still gives
problems with the printhead. No more Epson for me.

I am considering an HP 4435 ($ 49 at Walmart). I cannot find out if this
printer uses a cartridge with the built in printhead. Are there any HP
printer models that use cartridges with a built-in printhead?

Thanks for any input.

There are many HP printer models that use integrated printheads and ink
supplies. AFAIK all the sub-$150 models have integrated printheads.

That may not be true. Maybe if there is a fool out there who buys at list
price but these days even a fool can get a discount.
The permanent or
separately replaceable printheads are typically the
