Fingerprints aren't 2D, but the sensor is. The sensor does not directly measure the height of the epidermal ridges. Rather, the varying thickness of the epidermic vary the dielectric between the conductive dermis and sensor. So you can replace the ridges with something completely 2 dimensional but with the same dialectic pattern. A normal home printer ought to be able to do that.
