For paper piecing I just print on regular copy paper, works just fine. Actually I print one, line up 2-3 blank sheets underneath and cut them all at once.

Usually people use freezer paper, typing paper or vellum (tracing paper) through printers for patterns. People also send fabric through printers, for direct printing on the fabric (usually, I think, fused to freezer paper for stability).
I haven't done any of these things. Just been wanting to! So, I could be wrong.....

I think you are talking about protecting your iron and ironing board from the stick of fusible. It's good to know parchment paper will work. If you do buy a sheet of the teflon you just keep reusing it. So even if it seems expensive you use it forever.
I think Holice is talking about FMQ. I bought a silicone oven liner for that, it was much less than the super sliders sold at quilt sites. It's available at hardware stores like Jerry's. I haven't used it yet. Hubby made me an extension table covered with vinyl which is very slippery.
