We unfortunately (?) only have laser printers at work, so if I didn't want to waste the company's supplies, I'd have to bring not only my own toner, but also fuser, transfer belt, imaging drum(s) etc. - and I also know from the invoices for the stuff that I've read, even a single toner cartridge is more expensive than a (cheap) ink printer.

Not that my boss really'd mind me using the printer for this as long as it was just for one t-shirt, but I'd really prefur to just order the shirt and have it shipped to me without having to do any real work myself, so a professional printing place is still my number 1 choice. ;)

As far as these are concerned, btw, the ones I've dealt with in the past at least are actually quite professional and offer high-quality printing even when you order but a single shirt. I sometimes wonder how they manage to make money out of this, but it's probably comparable print-on-demand with regard to books. That being said, I haven't yet received a reply from the printshop I mentioned I wrote to, but then, it's Saturday, so I assume I'll have to wait until Monday at least. I'll see what they say then. :)

Cloth markers / stencils might be an option, too, of course, but I'm not sure about how easy it would be to get white print on a black shirt done this way; I have a friend who's got an airbrush, though, who I could ask for help with this. But both this and the wax negative technique would probably just be a last option if all else fails.
