converting printer (inkjet or dotmatrix) into PCB "printer"

Hi Everyone,

It's been a while since the last time I posted!

Has anyone tried converting an old inkjet printer into a PCB "printer"?  
I have an old Canon I'm thinking of playing with, using conductive ink.  
One promising source for the conductive ink might be Creative Materials 
Inc. - see http://www.creativematerials.com/

Any suggestions for published (IEEE, books, etc.) material I should look 
at?  Any recommended suppliers or contacts which others have dealt with?

I'm (finally) dabbling with some small sensor-net ideas that require the 
use of surface-mount devices (accelerometers, microcontrollers, RF 
tranceivers - check out Melexis' TH7120 at http://www.melexis.com/, 
etc), so I'm hoping to do it on the REALLY cheap, and keep any heating 
activity restricted to a conventional toaster oven.

Thanks!

Andrew

P.S.  Happy New Year!
