However, inkjets seem to be better for printing masks for photo-etching,
but the transparencies are awfully expensive and so is the ink when it
dries out. I got surprisingly good results photo etching with plain
paper and an inkjet, about as good as a LaserJet 2200 and
good transparencies.

For the toner transfer trick it seems to me that LaserJet 3 and 4 work
very well, they print much darker than newer lasers. Haven't tried a
color laser, they might have interesting differences. I wish I could
just put my PCBs through a laser printer and etch away...
