From: bierma@nprdc.arpa (Larry Bierma) Does anybody know a source that is shipping from stock toner cartridges for the Apple LaserWriters. Our local Apple distributor can't get them. In fact they won't ship us the three LaserWriters we ordered (which thay have in stock) until they get one cartridge for each of them. I've been waiting a month now. If the distributor can't get three cartridges to close an $16,000 (the cost of the three LaserWriters) I don't think he'll be able to get 20. According to this same distributor the Apple cartridges are not the same as the HP cartridges. Since our site has a number of HP LaserJets, a couple of Imagen 8/300 and soon three LaserWriters I'd like to know whether cartridges are the same for all of them. Or, do we have to buy from three seperate sources. --Larry ARPA: bierma@nprdc.arpa UUCP: {decvax,ucbvax,ihnp4}!sdcsvax!sdcsla!nprdc!bierma PSTN: (619) 225-2161 "And where are all the sportsmen who always pulled you through" [[Editor's note---The notion that the Apple cartridges differ from the HP cartridges or the Imagen 8/300 is contrary to what I've heard elsewhere. If anyone has any detailed explanation as to why this might be the case, please post it. --Rick ]]

From: Brian Reid <reid@Glacier> The HP Toner Cartridge, 92285A EP-Cartridge, Code R34-0002-004, is completely identical to the Apple LaserWriter cartridge and works perfectly in Apple LaserWriters. Here in Palo Alto it is also $5 cheaper.
