What about not being a bubble jet printer? Aren't all HP print
cartridges equipped with a bubble jet print head?
You're confusing BubbleJets (Canon) with InkJets (HP/Epson). The former
use a heating element per pixel, the latter use a piezo element.
But the end result is still a bubble of ink.
No, a droplet.
More precisely... A picoliter sized droplet.

A bubble-like droplet.

The bubble is what forms on the heating element, pushing the ink droplet
out of the nozzle.


IN a bubble jet.

IN an InkJet are you sure the same mechanisms are utilized?
