I wonder if it would be possible to laser print on metal surface.
No. The paper "charges" in the laser-printer just like your PLASTIC
(non-conductive) comb charges on a very dry day when you comb your hair. The copper
is obviously a GOOD conductor, a dead-short to ground, so NO "charge" will
build up, which would attract the toner-powder.
