You can guess why I know this for a fact.....yep, the fabric paper rolled around the roller thing in the printer and there was no way to remove without completely taking the printer apart. Had to buy a new printer! and I still don't have the photo printed on the paper.
So just a word of caution, make sure your printer can handle the thickness of paper backed fabric.

PS I have/had a Cannon TS5020 scanner/printer combo.
Printers which feed straight through like most Canons, some Epsons and some older HPs and others, should handle thicker fabric. If your printer rolls the paper around a platen like a laser printer, it won't.
The older Canons used to come with crafting manuals that called for heavier paper.
