Yes. Everybody I've ever heard of uses the same general chemical reactions in B&W printing paper. If your darkroom procedure works for one B&W paper it will work pretty well with any B&W paper. Some of my first prints were made on paper my dad had left over from the late 1930s (a bit outdated, but it could reproduce an image). Sure, there are lots of papers and developers to choose from but the differences won't matter to many beginners. Pick something you find convenient and stick to it until you're really sure it's not right for you. Rick.
