Inkjet paper in laser printers?

A few years ago my wife bought me a nice inkjet printer. I was very impressed with its' photo reproduction. Unfortunately, I didn't use it enough to prevent ink clogging and other things that made it much less usable than I would like.

So, as some of you here know, I started gathering color laser printers. I have used laser photo paper with them and the results have been quite acceptable.

Today, my daughter gave me 4 unopened packets (400 sheets) of what appears to be 4 x 6 photo paper. I presume it is inkjet paper, but I also find out they sell 4 x 6 laser photo paper. The packets are unmarked - I presume they came from some bundled deal. So ...

Is there any way to tell whether a given paper is designed for inkjets or lasers? If not, what are the dangers of using one type of paper in the other type of printer?
