Re: HP 97 printer paper? Message #2 Posted by W. Bruce Maguire II on 13 Dec 2001, 12:27 p.m., in response to message #1 by duane Bozarth

Well, I know this will sound incredibly wasteful and not eco-friendly...but here goes. Just go to OfficeMax (or Depot), and grap a pack of the THERMAL printing-calculator printer rolls. They print in black, whereas the old HP paper printed in blue. Now the wasteful part: take a new spool and put it on a pencil, hold in your hand, and give it a big spin to start reeling-off paper. The reason: these new-fangled rolls of paper are too large to fit in the 97 bay. If you roll-off about 1/4 (maybe 1/3) of the roll, they will fit in the holder.
Even though this wastes a lot of paper, it is much cheaper than buying "official HP replacement" rolls of paper. The same procedure goes for the newer infrared HP printer too. Now I can't guarantee them like HP would theoretically guarantee its paper, but I have never experienced any problems.
Bruce.
