I would go with cups because you could use the HP JetDirect socket

Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless like water.
Now you put water into a cup and it becomes the cup.
You put water in a bottle it becomes the bottle.
You put it into a teapot it becomes the teapot.
Now water can flow or it can crash.
Be water, my friend.
