I press as I go also and then spray with sizing when block is complete.
For printer paper, I am on my second batch of the paper Klue recommended. It goes through the printer wonderfully and tears easily. Plus you can see through it!

Tip for putting odd papers through the printer. Wrap an 8 1/2" piece of painters tape along the leading edge of the paper, it will help it feed through. This will work with freezer paper or thin tracing paper.

Yes.
You can print directly on the non-waxy side.
Also, you can iron fabric to the glossy side (face up or face down depending on what you need for your project) and print directly onto the fabric.
There are quite a number of sites that show how to use freezer paper through your printer - Anyone got some good links?

Additionally, you can iron other, more fragile papers (tissue, brown, plain white, whatever) onto the freezer paper, allowing you to print onto papers that ordinarily would be too delicate to run through the printer without hanging up.
Same reason for the freezer paper with the farbic.

[Are you telling me that I can actually put store bought freezer paper into my printer and print on it?[/quote]
You sure can! I feel like I get better results that way. There is no distortion from tracing and all pieces are the same. I think it is just more accurate, at least for me!
