Thanks everybody who answered this question. I'll
look for a plain paper
cartridge from Office Max or such and try out the printer sometime.
The MicroWarehouse catalogue has "Plain Paper" cartridges for $11. It's
Item No. 6339 and HP Ref. 51604A.
The original cartridge shipped with the unit is still
sealed in its
container. The "Use By:" date is Dec 1986. I don't think I'll waste my
time
opening it since there's a possibility it is no good. I'll just keep it
unopened with the printer and packaging as part of its original shipment
and use new ones.
If it's still sealed, I can just about guarentee it's usable. I've used
them several years after they were opened without any problem. The problem
would probably be finding the special paper.
