Another approach: you might check some smaller HP printers including the 
Officejets and some HP wide formats with lower specs than the Z models.
Most of them have the separate cartridges, ink tubes and user 
replaceable heads (two colors for one head) that still last a long time 
despite their low price.
Cartridges often larger than on the desktops discussed  in this list.

The real obstacle is that QTR doesn't drive HPs.  Gutenprint has the 
basics for some models so ... And then QTR preferably as a Windows 
driver that can be hooked up to Qimage, Photoshop and Acrobat.

We had lists like that 8-10 years ago. 90% of that became available and 
we still are pushing the envelope :-)
