I have done this. You need an inkjet printer, not a laserjet.
I purchased packages of fabric that is ready to print with a paper backing that you peel off after printing. Worked out nicely for the memory quilts I made for my family after Mom passed. You can see them here:

Just follow the directions on the package.
It can also be done by ironing freezer paper to the wrong side of your fabric, but you need to prepare it with bubblejet. I could not find a source for that locally.
