Donald, I bet it was a real pain - as thin as that baking paper is I would be very concerned about trying it without a carrier.
I have managed to find this highly technical tape that works really good. It's a clear tape that is only available at certain places... like drug stores, grocery stores.... well actually most anyplace.
It's called "scotch tape" - Yep, just the simple old scotch tape you'll find anywhere. I've used it for taping paper to carrier pages for a good while. Works just find. Heck, it even worked for a single pass thru a Brother printer at 400F+ ok - it did show signs of overheating there.
I just print an outline of the board to standard paper, then cut the baking paper (or Pulsar) to a size just larger than the outline, tape it on the leading edge only, and run it thru.
I do set the printer to max density, high res, and heavy card stock setting to get as much toner down as possible.
Give it a try and do let us know how it works. I'm interested and will be doing a few more just to test. For these tests I'm not doing any etching, just examine the PCB to check how well the toner transfers. So far, I'm impressed. That baking paper just falls off.
