After taking advice from people on this list, I went ahead and pumped argon through my compressor. I ran the argon into a green garbage bag (color might be important), then into my nitrox stick. I measured the o2 level until it was 0, then started pumping into my HP tanks. I now have two HP 120's full of argon. I can fill lots of argon bottles using these two tanks as two banks. When one gets too low to use, I rent another 130 cu. ft. argon cylinder, top up both tanks, and start over. I now have reliable, easy, portable argon fills to 3000 psi. It works for me. I was also advised not to try this with helium or trimix, so I haven't.
