Actually, picoliters might not be the right unit.  IIRC the last time I 
looked at this somehting like 100's of nanoliters or something scaled 
more reasonable on both the top and bottom ends of the range.  But anyway...

The X/Y syringe thing is kind of like a printer -- it's a 1x1 dot matrix 
printer for solder paste :)

It might be a project that could be easily hacked.  Take one of the 
manual foot-switch operated solder syringes that runs on shop air, and 
lash it up to a cheap table-top CNC router.  Could probably make a paste 
printer for $1500.
