About 500 pages of typical text, 1000 pages in draft mode.  Your milage
may vary.

HP doesn't produce a water-fast ink yet and doesn't recommend filling the
cartidge with your favorite ink.  The wrong type of ink may gunk up the
pen service station which caps and wipes the pen to keep it running clean.

>  o Throughout the DeskWriter manual, it says in italics: "Do not use
>    inkjet paper."  Does anyone know why?

Mainly because HP wanted to make sure that people didn't think they had to
use special paper with this printer, unlike the ThinkJet or WriteMove which
have much better print quality on special paper.
