I use a Samsung 1665 printer. I've been using magazine paper. I do mostly double sided surface mount with 0603 parts and 15 mil traces. The results are very good except for the paper fiber that gets stuck between fine gaps which needs to be manually removed.

I recently tried HP presentation paper. Although I didn't etch yet, the transfer looks perfect. The paper floats off by itself after about 2 min of soaking, leaving an etch ready board. The paper is low cost, $15 for 250 sheets. It's highly recommended.
