    Thanks all for replying with so many suggestions and ideas. And
    thanks, Bill, for all your advice yesterday. For me the option of
    going into the local Office Max or Office Depot and simply loading
    the PnP in the feeder tray is not viable. I do not know their
    machines, and if I were to use one that ran too hot and melted the
    PnP I would be in big trouble. I'm sure they would make me pay for
    repair and ban me from the store! That's just my concern. Many of
    you seem to have navigated things this way very well. I'm just too
    nervous to do it. 

    But I think Bill is right, the issue is also one of control. I've
    gotten several suggestions for printers, and also been advised that
    almost any printer will work. My issue here is that I needed a
    specific model that was working for someone, and it had to be fairly
    new since I run both my PC and my Mac on current operating systems,
    and I generate art on both, depending on the program I want to work
    in. 

    Alma came up with the best solution for me... the Canon PC 170 laser
    copier. It came in at a price that was no more than I would have
    spent for an inexpensive laser printer, and completely bypasses any
    operating system/printer driver compatibility issues. I just ordered
    one off Amazon, with a full toner cartridge (it only comes with a
    "starter" cartridge) and I'm looking forward to getting it a moving
    forward into the agony and ecstasy of learning the best way for me
    to do the transfers onto brass and copper. 

    The fact that Alma and her students are successfully using it for
    PnP gives me peace of mind. 

So, again, thanks all!
