laser transparencies should be fine. But with inkjet transparencies it is  
taking a chance ;-)

I remember the first day i had my first laser printer, after i had cleaned  
it (it was used) i tried printing on a "transparency", only this was just  
a sheet of plastic not meant for laser printers. That day i learned what a  
hot fuser does to that plastic, and cleaned again ;-).

Some lasers have a higher fuser temperature these days. They may cause  
unsuitable transparencies to distort, but don't melt.
