I have an old S750 that's like that. Still works very well. A couple of
times, the colors got bad, and I removed the print head, cleaned it with
alcohol and Qtips, and it worked fine after that. Very easy.

I stopped buying original Canon ink long ago, and buy from ink4art when they
had 40% off sales. Makes it so cheap that I've already saved enough to buy
a new printer if I needed to, which I don't.
