Strangely most domestic flights on Air New Zealand(NZ) use this kind of computer paper hooked up to a dot matrix printer, as well as old style baggage tags (with the destination pre-printed on them). Some of the more exotic NZ outstations (e.g. TBU, APW) are similarly equipped. In fact some South Pacific carriers such as Polynesia Airlines still handwrite their BP's (and weigh their passengers as well as the luggage!) on their shorter runs.
