"Laser printers use a heated roller known as a fuser when printing, fusing the toner to the page. In the case of glossy photo paper, it's possible for the fuser to melt the glossy film covering on the paper, ruining the paper and potentially damaging the printer as well. While this may not happen in every case, the chance of damage to the printer is enough that using the wrong paper type is definitely not recommended. "
