I was referring to the older Canon printers or Canon-engine based  
printers like my old Color Stylewriter.

I have bottles of refill ink that I can't use in Epsons because it's  
a different formulation.

Even today, I understand that Canon uses a different printing  
mechanism that uses heat, which is why you can't use dye sublimation  
ink in Canon printers.
