I've seen the compatible Canon cartridges almost everywhere online. I've used a few third-party cartridges with older, out-of-warranty printers that I don't consider primary production machines and have had no problems whatsoever.
On a somewhat related note, has anyone had success re-inking four-color ImageWriter II ribbons?

I believe just so as long as the ink is for inkjet printers, it should work. No, Parker Quink is a pen ink (meant for dipping/refilling fountain pens). Does that matter, or could I had some water or something to make it work?

I'm pretty sure that you need inkjet ink, as it is formulated for the nozzles in the cartridge, and contains a mixture of alcohol that allows the ink to dry quicker.
I think pen ink would be too thick, and not evaporative enough to work in an inkjet printer.
