Can someone point me to a reference which describes how to
transfer a crewel design to fabric, including brand names of hot-iron
transfer paper and copy pencils and possibly using a computer
and printer to accomplish the purpose?
Any help will be appreciated.

A lot of this depends upon whether you are transferring to a light
material or a dark one. Which are you attempting to do?

Quite a few of the iron on transfer papers that're stocked in craft stores
leave a waxy coating.
If you're going to work on a light colored cloth, an iron on transfer pencil
found in notions or quilting sections might work. Be aware, however, that
you'll need to reverse the image on your printout before ironing plus the lines
might be wider than expected.
Another option is dressmaker's carbon paper.
Follow the KISS (keep it simple stupid) principle. You don't have to trace all
the details, like the lines for a trellis filling or where one color ends and
another begins.

I like the dressmakers carbon and also - trace the design, pin to
fabric and make giant stitches through tissue paper and carbon, then
remove paper.
It also works well to use a piece of tulle - use one of those pens
that rinse out - trace the design on the tulle, then retrace over the
fabric. You wind up with little dots all over which you could join up
- if in doubt.
It depends a great deal on how complex the design, as Anne said, no
need to put every last line in, you can always refer back to the
original. Size might also favour one method over another.
Caution - if you use a pen that washes out, don't leave your work
lying in the sun or an overly warm place and certainly don't touch it
with an iron, it will never wash out after that !
