Does anyone know of an inexpensive place to purchase replacement ink cartridges
for the HP Deskwriter?  The cheapest I have seen locally (I would love to find
a nice local place if possible for you Bay Area Responders) is $19 at Computer-
ware.  It seems someone should be discounting these crazy things from the 
retail price which I think is $19 too.

BTW, I have heard of people refilling their cartridges with other ink which is
in fact water fast, however, I am not interested since HP does not recommend 
it.  It seems to be that using anything other than HP's ink might cause prob-
lems since ink jet nozzles are pretty sensitive things.  With the wrong ink, it
might get clogged.  Again, I would love to be corrected.

Again, I ask the HP people out there, is it okay to use heavier than 24 lb.
paper with the Deskwriter?

Thanks in advance.
