Stop ink from smudging/smearing when wet?

Is there a way to make a page of text printed with an inkjet a little more resiliant.  ie, I'd like it not to 'run' or 'smudge' when it gets a drop of water on it.  I thought maybe spraying with 'fixative' of some sort might be a quick and easy solution?

If hairspray worked, that would be great!  I'll see if the missus can spare some.
There is a big difference between graphite and ink.  I remember hearing hairspray suggested as a solution, but it should make the paper stiff.
No comment has been added lately, so it's time to clean up this TA.
