The cartridge is out right now.  It has exactly the same number as the 
old cartridge.  You have to be careful though, HP is shipping the old
cartridge until the stock is depleted.  At that point on you will only
get the new cartridge. (It says NEW on the box).

As far as pro's and con's, there are very few no that the "almost"
water resistent ink is out.  Con's might be; speed, memory limits, and
not all fonts are availble.  Pro's are cost, size, reliability, upgrades
available from a deskjet or deskjet plus to a deskjet 500.  It is real
hard now to decide between a LJ IIP and a deskjet 500.  Is it worth the
few built in fonts and extra memory for downloadble fonts to justify the
price difference?

			  My opinions only since I've owned both.....
