On Color laser printers
I have one that I'm very happy with (Konica/Minolta 2300DL - US$408.00). Mind you it's not real fast on color (4ppm) but the quality is great! That being said, Lasers don't use the glossy photo paper that you can get for inkjets; I haven't seen any paper similar to that for lasers.

Regular Glossy Stock.
Standard thing from paper stores/suppliers.

Have you used it yourself?
I didn't want to buy a lot of paper I might not be able to use without making sure it would work. Does it still have the same gloss when the toner is fused?

I have used it...
But not for Photos.
I'll have to try some. In our black printer at work.

Some works, some doesn't.
Some glossy paper will shrivel up in a laser printer. You really have to test the brands available.

There's a difference between..
..glossy stock for laser and for inkjet. The paper will generally be fairly clearly marked.
I use glossy all the time...but use it in my Epson Photo 1200. I have used glossy in lasers at work...if the right paper is used it does hold the gloss. The issue I generally have with color laser is dpi...since most color laser is at 600. Not quite good enough for photos

2400x600
looks pretty damn good, and no streaking like you can get from inkjets (just leave the magnifying glass at home.) But I haven't seen any glossy paper marked specifically for laserjets, most if not all have been marked for inkjets.

Seriously here...
Get Astrobrite 95 Glossy paper preferably 48# (glossy is much more dense and therefore heavier)
That is an ultra white paper. The main thing is the heat resistance. If you get "printing press" rated glossy stock, it is heat resistant. There fore should work just fine for a laser.
Now using Printing Press glossy stock, the inkjet ink pools into runs and bubbles. Looks horrendous. Inkjet Photo paper absorbs the ink, and has little imperfections in it. When the water based inks touch... those imperfections float-together like a ClearCoat on a car.

We bought an Epson RX630.
Inkjet printer-scanner-copier with card-reader. The benefits of a colour laserjet were a bit hard to quantify sufficiently. Maybe later.
