I received my "new" (refurbished) HP 8710 the other day and when I ordered it, I was told by the tech in India that this model can print on transparent film. I now see no choise of that on the scroll-down menu of Paper Type selections. Was I misinformed or is there indeed another option for this type of media?

The MAIN reason I up-graded to this printer was specifically to print on transparent film! The numb skull in India said this model does just that. What do I do now? Go through all the hassle of repacking it and sending it back??
TRUST NO ONE! THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!! BUT IT'S SURE AS HELL'S NOT IN NEW DELHI, INDIA!!!
