Was thinking of similar myself, it'd be realtively easy to do and I
have some 5' long PCBs for signs that would love a rolling printer..
And after a certain point, it'd be worth sticking it on rails and just
doing the driving yourself. Study the inkjet firing a bit, drive it and
the head carriage motor, and mount your own rails and motors for Y. Not
much work at all to interpret Gerber or similar formatting, and most PCB
packages can output it one way or another, and then you can make
everything work like you want it to, no more pumping out half a
cartridge because the printer decides it's having a bad ink day..
