Here is a cool DIY that will let you print from your HP printer onto a circuit board.

“A desktop printer loaded with a silver salt solution
and vitamin C has been used to produce electronic circuits. The UK
researchers behind the feat say their experimental device could pave
the way for safer and cheaper electronics manufacturing. PhD student
Seyed Bidoki loaded a standard Hewlett Packard ink-jet printer with a
solution of metal salts and water. After a pattern is printed using the
solution, a chemical known as a reducing agent is then printed over the
top to make solid silver form.”
