1. Laser printers can print on normal paper, but buying laser printer paper may enhance the quality of the prints. Check out this webpage for the answer to your second question: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/696/how_use_open_bin_cue_iso_files
2. Most domestic laser printers shouldn't have any issues printing to "plain" paper, however it's possible that your printer model may, depending on how it runs. Laser printers that have a high duty cycle and can auto-duplex (print on both sides) are more likely to be sensitive to the paper type, because they tend on average to produce higher temperatures - which may make pages curl more as the high heat bakes the moisture content out of one side of the page, potentially causing issues when it attempts to run the page through the auto-duplexer. If you are using a laser printer without an auto-duplexer this shouldn't be a problem at all. Regarding BIN files, usually this is part of a CD image, and to use it you would burn it to disk or mount it to a virtual CD.
3. Check your manual for the size of paper. i.e. 20 pound. There will be specifications in your manual on paper. Certain paper might be too grainy and could damage the printer head. So check your manual. www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-whatsimage.htm - (for bin file opening)
