first of all you have to have a working ink cartridges so that you can start your printer, print nozzle check , see what is wrong (if there is) and fix accordingly. for ink cartridges check these sites. https://www.tomatoink.com/Epson-Stylus-Photo-2000P-Ink-Cartridges...

Hp also offer printer with ink tank. http://www8.hp.com/ph/en/printers/deskjet-gt.html for canon. https://petapixel.com/2016/12/28/canon-g-series-megatank-printers-use-refillable-ink-tanks-not-cartridges/

Epson L series or ET series are good alternative , they are chipless and have good capacity external ink tank which allow to print 6000-7000 pages before you need to refill again. you can use 3rd party ink, and reset the ink level counter with wic reset utility for free, better than hp printers...

this is ink starvation usually occur when you use new system, it is air trapped in the print head causing misfire . prime the cartridges again to ensure that there is no air in the outlet of the cartridges , install the system ,do print head cleaning cycle twice, if there is still missing nozzle...

check the rubber seal of the print head, Hp CISS usually come with extra thick rubber seal to replace the existing one. and make sure that the ink bottles are in level with the printer.

resetting the cartridge chip is the most important part in refilling otherwise the printer will reject the cartridge.

this is the service manual

first try to check the existing setting for any accidental changes which may occur during work. second try this basic manual and go to page 24 onward .it may help solving the problem. good luck

you can look for Canon G series , Epson L series and Epson ecotank ( ET )series.

it is your decision whether to use OEM or NON-OEM ink because you are the one who will face the problem if it happened ,each of them has its own pros and cons, there are good experts in this forum and they will give you their experience for each of them . if you will choose NON-OEM then go for...
