Dave,
Staples lists greenbar paper on their website for USD $98.39
(shows both free delivery or pick-up-in-store options)
"Staples 14.88" x 8.5 inch Business Paper, 18 lbs., 100 Brightness, 2800/Carton (27135/ST489125)"
Item #: 489125, Model #: ST489125/177175
https://www.staples.com/Staples-Green-Bar-Computer-Paper-14-7-8-x-8-1-2-18lb-2-800-Box-27135-ST489125/product_489125
Considering that the case likely weighs around 40 pounds, and has 2,800 pages of wide paper,
would seem relatively inexpensive, especially with the free delivery option.
This brings back a fond memory of when I purchased my first Samsonite briefcase,
I took a greenbar printout with me to the office supply store, to make sure it would fit flat inside the briefcase.

I wonder if it can still be obtained (cheaply)? I have an old Epson CP-80 dot-matrix printer that I'd like to use again (be handy for source listings so that I don't have to use up toner etc).
