Um, shouldn't she be ironing the freezer paper to something BEFORE she puts it through her printer? And ironing the shiny side of the freezer paper? Not so great for the iron. ;-)
Two options:
You can iron the freezer paper to paper for stability and so that the wax part isn't exposed to the innards of your printer.
Just make sure you know which way the paper has to go in (freezer on top or bottom). I always forget as I print on multiple printers. I always end up doing a test first - big red x on blank piece, and then see which side gets printed on so I know now to stack the FP sheets in the paper tray.
The other option is to iron the freezer paper to fabric, and print on the fabric side (a la Inklingo) - again, depending on the way you do applique, you can have it print of the right or wrong side of the fabric. This already has the outline printed on the fabric, and you can just cut the shape adding a seam allowance.
