   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

   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.
