The other day I attempted to buy a color cartridge for my laserwriter and was told (by an apple dealer) that apple does not support them. I was sure that the man was confused, he claimed that using color cartridges could damage the laserwriter and then I'd have to spend $1500 (and thats american dollars not bolivian) to have them clean it. I called Apple and they wouldn't say much, only that it was Apple's policy not to allow the use of color cartridges. Does anyone know what the *x!?()! is going on here? The apple laserwriter uses a Cannon CX marking engine. This is the same puppy that HP uses in its laserjet, and I know that people use color cartridges in it with no trouble. I know you folks at apple are on the net here, could one of you please check out this wierdness for me. I *really* want to use color but I don't want to have to spend $1500 if its going to screw up my laserwriter.

Well, don't worry, the Bolivian unit of currency is not the dollar, but the
sucre (as in sugar). But then, Bolivians have politicians who wave pistols in
the national assembly too. . .
OK, don't flame, I just thought you'd like the reassurance! ;-)
