The stuff we had to endure at school over there was certainly rather robust

parchment in terms of texture (i.e. smooth and rather shiny in appearance).
I could certainly see it making its way through a printer without mishap.
I'm rather surprised that ol' James Dyson hasn't invented a replacement for
toilet paper yet (doubtless involving cyclone technology).

If you are of a certain age and live in Britain
you would know bog
paper could be VERY strong.
Dunno if it's the era you are referring to, but I spent the summer of
1985 in Britain and remember the bog paper as being quite stout. I
can imagine it surviving the rollers and printhead of an ASR-33 (not
sure if it would have buckled enough to snag a dot matrix head or
not).
