Welcome to the forums! Usually our help type questions are actually on the main page and this is more about site help than quilting help but you got some attention so that is good.

I myself have not had a bubble jet printer, but I have printed on fabric using both ink jets and laser jets. The big thing is to make sure you are using the proper treatments for the correct type of printer/ink. For my laser jet, mostly I just iron whatever fabric I'm using to freezer paper, trim to size and run through my printer correctly. I have used both solids and prints of various colors/patterns. I do prewash and you need to make sure any time you are doing any sort of dying or printing that your fabric is "clean" I do not recommend fabric softener or dryer sheets -- but again, check the recommendations for your printer.

You can buy pretreated sheets of fabric, check your office supply store in the Specialty papers (typically cheaper than products sold in fabric shops) -- again, make sure you get the right type for your printer.

Depending on what you want to print, a lot of people have been using things like Spoonflower --

It can be easier/cheaper than some depending on what supplies you need to buy and what printing capabilities you have.
