I also use the cheapest copy paper I can find. I have not had a problem with it or lint in the printer. Make sure you don't buy the 24# bright white paper--that is thick. I did try Carol Doak's paper but for some reason my printer (an HP) didn't like it and wouldn't feed it correctly, I don't think it was Carol's paper--just my printer although her paper is kind of expensive if you're printing out a lot of copies.
