Can you use an inkjet printer on laser paper?

I was looking up CD labels and all of them were laser paper. I was wondering if you could use an inkjet printer on the laser paper and was wondering if it would be any different

1. no you can't
2. I suspect that inkjet and laser paper are just slightly different but I have several inkjets and lasers and interchange paper all the time. The only time I cant is with photo paper which must match the inkjet. I have copier labels which I have used in both printers.
3. yes
4. Well yes you can, but you may not get the desired results. You may find that the labels will smear after they're printed because I believe that the labels are made with a different surface for ink jet as opposed to laser jet. Now I have used ink jet labels in a laser jet printer without a lick of problems. The best thing you could do would be to try it if a small package isn't too expensive, but check your printer settings to see if there are any special settings for labels. I know on my color laser printer I have to tell it specifically to print labels or they smear when they come out. I think it's got something to do with the heat applied to it, but that probably isn't the case for an ink jet. Hope that helps!
