Ahh, but you have the virtue of patience!
I can't be bothered to wait several minutes for the paper to soak, usually.

If the toner isn't stuck fast enough to withstand rubbing (or your  
toothbrush for that matter), then it's no good anyway.
Also, if you allow some rubbing you can use many more paper types that  
would never float off.
