I have an HP 2000C (recently replaced in their product line with the 2200)
and it does have separate print heads as well as 4 separate ink cartridges.
This printer seems extremely robust and the ink cartridges seem to last
forever! I do tons of printing on it and have never had to replace a print
head.
