Some of you might find this interesting:

printer-churns-out-electronic-circuits.html

It's an article about inkjet printers being used to print conductive 
traces, directly, onto many different types of materials, using a 
silver nitrate solution, followed a few minutes later by a reducing 
agent (they mentioned using a Vitamin C solution), and then washed with 
water to leave only the metal traces.

I haven't investigated it any further than that.  I just thought some 
of the people here might like to know about it.
