   Not sure I'd expect it to work well with magazine paper, most are 
very slick and solid surfaced, fusing might tend to spread the toner 
out.  Sounds like what you got too.  Get the $10 for 50 sheet pack type 
of photo paper, the Jetprint Photo Graphic Image Paper Gloss Finish is 
what I'm using and works great this way, some have reported similar good 
results with Cannon paper as well if you can't find the Jetprint.
   Office Max doesn't seem to have the Jetprint anymore, but sells their 
own brand.  I strongly suspect it's just their label and is still the 
same Hammermill paper, but haven't been there to see if it matches up 
yet.  Staples has the Jetprint brand though last I've heard if there's 
one near you.
