The places I've found that carry the correct paper all
want to sell you far more rolls than you would ever
use.  Everything from the usual off sources is either
too narrow (cash registers) or too wide (fax
machines).  What I did, following my personal
tradition of half-assing my way through life, was to
buy a cheap roll of fax paper and cut it in half.  Too
wide to feed into the printer, it turned out, so I cut
another 1/8" off it.  In the future it will be eaier
to cut one at 4-1/8" then trim a quarter inch off the
other half for a final width of 4-1/8".  I used a
fresh blade in a matte knife but the cut could still
be prettier.  No biggie; you aren't going to be using
this printer for resumes.

One pack of Office Max's cheapest fax paper will give
you four rolls for the TP-10, which is more than
enough to convince you to go back to a regular printer.
