iP4300 parts interchange?

Looked an iP4300, with no print head, at the thrift store today and wondered if any parts will interchange with other Canon printers.

It's probably more valuable or useful as a whole printer although without a print head. But I know, unless you are willing to pay for a new print head it is pretty useless. Ip4300 is an excellent printer. I own one and love it. It should not cost you more than $15 for the printer without print head at the thrift store. If a new print head cost around $50 it is still worth it to make a complete printer. Of course there is some risk there. If the printer is defective it would be quite a blow to take. If you already haven an ip4300 then definitely take it and use it as a spare. I would get it because I have one.

Tin Ho after reading about Canon printers here for the last year I got lucky and picked up an iP3000 for $10.00 at the thrift store.

The iP3000 only needed a new black cart and light cleaning.
I am now looking for an iP5000 or a iP4500 and that is why I ask about the parts on the iP4300.

The thrift store makes no sense how they price things. They have a scratched up iP4000 with empty aftermarket carts and no paper cassette for $24.00. and the iP4300 with no print head for $10.00?
I am debating whether or not to buy the iP4300 for spare parts?
