If you really want to use such small pieces of laminate then I think you
will have to get an electrostatic hold down plotter. The only other way
would be to tape the piece of PCB to a sheet of paper. Pretty well every
printer I have come across relies on the paper being of a minimum width
(typically A4 or American equiv) or continuous tractor feed stationary just
to pass through the printer without problems.

The only other way I see is to be able to punch your small bit out of a
sheet, a bit like a cookie cutter making a hole in pastry, or a sheet of
Avery labels. Then you can refeed the laminate for the next small pcb in 3
days time, taking care to print on a different spot, and not the hole ;))
