Soaking the paper with cleaners sure won't help the situation either. I recommend the generic single ply paper towels, with no fancy prints or anything.
Actually, where the confusion lies, in this case, is that people use "Newspaper" that has been printed on, instead of blank "Newsprint" paper. If you have access to blank "Newsprint" paper, it actually IS the best type of paper to use to clean glass, even though it seems "stiff." No, never use newpaper that has been printed on. Most newspapers today use soy based ink. Those who don't, still use petroleum based ink (very few, these days, in these "environmentally conscious" times). Neither are good for windows.
