Homebrew PCBs

I too would be interested in this. I have a pile of old Laserjet II, III and 4 printers that I could dedicate to this purpose. Right now I've taken a LJII and stripped it down to just the fuser and drive stepper. I'm getting the stepper to run from a microprocessor, I have it running from an arduino, but am going to use a small AVR, probably a ATiny2313. I am planning on controlling the fuser lamp with a micro also, to give me adjustable temperature. Hopefully this will be better than the iron method, my results with that are mixed at best.

But my ultimate goal would be to print directly onto the board to cut out the paper printing step. 

If anyone has any experience, it would be helpful to know what worked and what didn't.
