I have an HP2671G thermal printer. It uses paper

I have a little of the official HP paper, but only as fanfold. Continuous
roll paper would be more convenient, since the paper roll fits inside the
printer mechanism.
Does anyone know if it's possible to use the thermal paper rolls sold for
fax machines?
Yes, it works fine. FWIW I'm using a 2671 on my Integral PC. It's not
offically supported on the IPC but it works fine.
Is it worth buying one to try, or is it certainly not going
to work (or worse still, damage the printhead). Is
there any difference,
other than dimensions, between the paper rolls sold for different models
of fax machine?
I have no idea. I just grabbed a roll of the stuff that I had for my fax
machine and it works fine.
If so, any ideas as to what might work?
I don't know but if I were you I'd save that HP fanfold paper. That's
the only thing that you can use in the HP 98-somethig-something printer and
it's next to impossible to find.
Joe
Thanks in advance for any comments
