If you’re just printing a basic, all-text document, go with a basic copy paper (aka multipurpose paper) like Universal Copy Paper UNV21200. Copy paper works just fine in most office machines.
Printing pictures or charts? Go with inkjet paper. Printing images and graphics deposits a whole lot of ink on your paper. Inkjet paper is coated and treated to dry fast, so the ink won’t smear and the paper won’t get too wet and buckle.
Running off your prints in a laser printer, or in that big multifunction copier at the office? Choose a laser paper. Laser paper is specially treated for toner adherence, so you get smooth and fully opaque results. Plus, laser paper has a high brightness (that just means it’s really, really white). The higher the paper brightness, the higher the contrast, and the more vivid the printout.
