They usually warn you to only use paper designed for laser printers, and for good reason.

No, I meant I never worried about using the back of an inkjet print in an inkjet. I don't refeed anything other than labels through my laser--and that only through the bypass path.

I just remembered that at our office, we use an inkjet printer to put Bates-stamp numbers, dates, etc. on incoming paper docs in some instances. Obviously very much second-hand paper by the time it's been through the mail and arrives at our office.

I re-use paper from the laserjet in the photocopier using the single sheet bypass. Occasionally it jams if the pages are fed through too quickly but the photocopier is a workhorse that's been going strong for 15 years. Very rarely I will re-use paper in my laserjet through the bypass but only to condense a large document.
I found a stack at the office years ago and did the same thing. It was fun ripping the strips of holes off but not as much fun as popping bubble wrap. Sadly my dot matrix stash is long gone.
I've been doing this for years. Once I printed my boarding passes on one...causing a bemused (but polite) comment from the Delta gate agent....
Recently I found a bunch of old dot matrix daisy wheel paper--the kind with holes on the sides and the paper continuously connected. It has made great scratch paper...I will be sad when it is used up
