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.
