Default Shreded paper as compost

My wife bought me a shreder for Christmas. I keep forgetting to use it,
but I have finally gotten to the point where I have to empty it, and I'm
wondering if I can just dump it out in the compost pile. Most of the
shredded papers are things like bank statements, which I would guess are
printed by a laser printer, and I wonder if the toners would be somewhat
toxic. I know a lot of people use newspaper in the garden and just let
it decompose, so I would guess that not all inks are toxic.
