A modular ink delivery system is incorporated in an inkjet printer to facilitate replacement of individual ink supply modules. A rigid interface component on the printer carries an electrical connector, an ink connector, and an air connector which match corresponding connectors on the ink supply module. A separate interface component for each ink supply module is spring-loaded on a printer frame in order to rest in either a forward parking position against a backplate or a rearward floating position that allows the interface component to move and rotate some distance in all directions to achieve proper alignment position when engaged by the ink supply module.
