   Summary: Yes, the same cartridges that are used in Apple LaserWriter II series
	    will work.  Someone mentioned recharged cartridges, but I have
	    personally had problems with consistency from batch to batch when used
	    in Apple printers.

Also, I think they're the same as HP LaserJets use.  I believe the
print engine is the Canon one, but even if it's not, that's the
determining factor in whether cartridges are interchangeable.

Watch out for recharged cartridges.  You don't know where they've been,
or how often they've been recharged.  Unless you really trust the
company, just go with new ones, else you'll probably end up damaging
your printer.  (The toner is like dust, and can clog the various
operating parts, and cause overheating besides.  You can also get
leaky cartridges that will smear your printed output).

Later,
