When i flush my toilet bubbles come up and it doesn't always flush all the way. Sometimes leaving paper in the bowl and other times almost overflowing. :confused: The toilet is an American Standard, 1.6gpf. What could the problem be?

Sounds like you have a partial blockage in the pipe or an obstructed trap, possibly on it's way to a full one! Sometimes there are snag points for tissue and such within the drainage. There could also be a flaw in the casting of the toilet itself or an "undesireable item" caught in the trap which could cause hangups. Try giving it a good plunge, but you may have to move to a snake. Be careful, because you can crack the bowl if you're not careful with that snake. If it happens over and over and over again, I'd recommend getting a plumber in there to actually take a look at it.
