Is it possible to transfer a picture from a computer print out onto fabric? I want to print a picture from my computer using a laser printer and then transfer it to fabric.

You can buy A4 size treated fabrics with backing for this. Or you can use Bubble Jet Set to treat your fabric, iron onto freezer paper then trim to size. I'm told you will have to adjust your printer to use a thicker than copy paper if it has that feature. Leave to set a while, even overnight, to dry.
Press both sides with a hot iron to make the picture more permanent.

Not with a laser printout. The toner isn't compatible.

There are t-shirt transfer papers you can print using inkjet or sublimation. You'll also need a very hot iron. You might search who in your area does custom t-shirts and see if they print your file and transfer it for you.

I've done it using the fabric that EQ has that is specifically for this purpose. It turned out well, but I don't honestly know how it stands up over time to washing etc.
Spoonflower can print for you and I have heard that their fabric/process stands up well. I have never personally used their services, maybe someone here has and can comment?

EQ's fabrics are meant for inkjet printers, not laser printers. This article has some information about printing on fabric using a laser printer.

I made a photo quilt many years ago with inkjet printed onto iron-on paper. Does Not hold up! Time has made iron-ons crackle. I don't dare wash it. I personally don't recommend it unless using item for a one-time event.
I have ordered from Spoonflower. They can be pricey, but "swatches" can be ordered fairly inexpensive. 6x8 inches, as I recall.
Also, a swatch sampler with about 30 swatches cost me around $35. It had photos and art drawings that I use for hot pads, etc. Also can order fat quarters, which I have used to quilt wall hangings.

Long ago in Colorado i found a store that did copies. they had one of those large steam pressing machines like dry cleaners. i took them some fabric cuts i think i bought for photos to be put on and gave them actual photos from my camera and they put them onto the fabric for me. Like some people in shopping malls used to do for you only on t-shirts. I"m showing my age...
anyway my quilt was done and so far not been washed, so i can't comment on that part.
I found in swapping with many other quilters that you mainly need to "not" iron over photos. No matter how they got onto the fabrics. here is a pic of my older quilt.
good luck.
