Just ported the guide over to the wiki https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/WalletPaperbackup

Basics
A program called PaperBack(Win32 at this time, Open Source'd) allows a user to encrypt and  print a paper copy of a file, to restore the file you scan or provide a image of the printed paper and it dumps out the file

How to use with you wallet.dat
1) Download PaperBack from the location provided before
2) Open PaperBack
3) Open Options and select the options you wish to have (For more info, read the page provided above)
4) Drag and drop the file (wallet.dat) into the window for printing
4.5)File -> Save to bitmap, It will ask you what file to encode, and then where to save the bitmap

Restoring your Wallet.dat
1)Scan or provide the bitmap of the backup
2)Wait for processing
3)Save wallet.dat

Example
(Due to me not having a printer, I had to kinda fake it)
Here is the first Image: http://imgur.com/8b7nz
Its a empty wallet.dat with Encryption on (AES-256), standard options past that
Here is the damaged copy, Opened in GIMP saved as a JPEG at 4% Compression, then converted back into a Bitmap

ECC had to correct 56bytes of bad data.. once decoded the md5 hashes where the same!

Here is a screenshot asking for the password (The password is "bitcoin")

Extras

Found this while googling around,

http://ronja.twibright.com/optar/ Its GPL'd and seems to be better for data storage and recovery, but I hear its harder to use

if you download the source, and if your any kind of programmer. decode.cpp seems simple to work with print that thing in plain text

Just made a neat guide on paper printing your wallet.dat, been a lurker for some time, would like to discuss things with the big boys

What about this, you print your wallet.dat and store it, and print the method of reading it

30 years down the line (BTC is still around) your kids find it, and wish to decode it,

Paper last longer then most digital medium at the moment

its just another form of backup

I've backed up some private keys to paper in the past, and found it very useful when i had to go and recover them

For some, it can take hours for the block chain to download over p2p

also I have provided notice on the site that It is recommend to download the Block Chain from http://bitcoin.bluematt.me/bitcoin-nightly/blockchain-nightly/ instead

I will still provide the download link, and the auto updater will still run (never hurts to have another mirror)

I am providing a place for people to download the current block chain, It is updated every 6 Hours, but if enough demand is there, I can up it to every 2 hours, Feel free to use Wget to auto download the block chain, but i do request that you keep it down to every 6 hours (pointless to download the same thing over and over)
