If you are printing it out and mailing it to 100 nameless, faceless people, then it is critical. Because your piece of paper will be right there beside many others. In this scenario, do something to try and make it stand out. Print it on a paper with a different texture etc. Don't go too crazy or you'll look... well... crazy.
If you are printing it out, and bringing it with you to an interview you arranged by working smart and creatively, it's important but not critical. Your winning smile, attitude, and skill set will get you the job.
Moral of this story? Sending in a resume has to be the worst way to get a job. It is what 95% of the rest of the applicants will do. And you don't want to look or act like them do you? Be creative... (but not crazy.)
