"Computer Paper" is the wide stuff that has always been associated with
the line printers found on mainframes. It is typically printed with green
or blue bars, includes line numbers, etc. It measures 14 7/8" by 11"
including the sprocket holes. I use it all the time on my wide Imagewriter
because I get nice thick stacks of the stuff here at BYU that are printed
on the green-bar side so I can print program listings, etc., on the other.
