Regular Goof Off is too harsh and will dissolve the toner (it contains 
some of the components of lacquer thinner). Goof Off 2, for Latex 
paints might work, since it's less likely to attack the toner. Unless 
you were thinking of Goo Gone, which is different.

I had forgotten to mention before that I also used dishwashing 
detergent (Automatic detergent, Cascade, not hand detergent like Dawn) 
in the water to remove the paper more easily. I used room temperature 
tap water. It /did/ seem to make it easier to remove the laser paper. 
Not sure about inkjet.
