I recently purchased a used HP DesignJet 750C 24" plotter, and I should receive it on the 27th. Since this is my first wide format printer, what paper do you recommend, that will yield decent prints, and where's the best place to get it?

Gary,
If you purchased this to produce fine art image prints you are going to be very disappointed.
This is a slow, low resolution "Plotter", not a photo printer.
Printer description
The HP DesignJet 750C printer is a large-format, color and monochrome, inkjet printer that provides hardcopy output of computer program data.
Large-format plots of high resolution and quality are generated for applications such as:

and if these look good, maybe some stuff for my day job. They already told me that if it works out, they will buy the paper and ink to get some stuff printed. Either way, $83.90 + $100.00 for shipping was worth the risk. So now I'm looking for a good place to buy the paper & ink. Any recommendations?

My reading indicated the 750c plus color printed at 300dpi and may be problematic trying to print at 600dpi. That said it isn't designed for photo printing.
That said your not at risk for a lot of $$ so good luck and please let me know how it works out.
Try ColoHQ, Breathing Color, and ITT Supplies for paper and ink.
