I'm thinking there is another thing going on.  I have a HP4 and use 
aftermarket toner.

I am pretty sure the HPII and III use a different type of toner.

It may be very similar as far as paper goes, but the heating process 
and the transfer to papers would probably be different.

When I was doing CAD work, I would PLOT to the laser using HPGL and 
not PRINT to it.   VERY different methods and very different line 
widths and angles and such.

But, I have tried different papers to a limited degree, with a home 
iron and it seems there is a difference in papers, but....

It would also seem that the make-up of the toner itself would be a 
HUGE part of the process.
