Thanks for the warning. But, do you happen to know what breed 
of inkjet printer paper this was (the fast-drying, ceramic-coated 
kind or the slow-drying, RC-coated kind)?

David,

Don't use coated inkjet paper!

Several days ago some coated inkjet paper accidently got mixed 
in with my 
letter-size laser-paper and made a mess: The inkjet paper jammed 
before it 
could move entirely out of the paper-tray. And though the print-quality 
of 
my (Minolta Magicolor 2200) laser printer hasn't been affected, 
the printer 
squeaks when it prints. A Minolta techie says that the OPC drum 
may be damaged.
