How are you printing? I use a CAM job in Eagle. There is a
postscript device that you can use. I just create a job, with
multiple sections...once for each layer. I give names to each output
layer like "ps_mc_brd15_sd1m.ps". To me, this filename means "My 15th
attempt to lay out the Magne Charger Adaptor board, side 1, mirror
image, output to postscript device." In the creation of each "section"
in a CAM "job" (Eagle terminology) I get to select exactly which
layers are "active" for that section. So, this means I have exactly as
many section in my CAM job, as I have layers. Since I barely need
two...this makes for at most two postscript files for me.
I then print these to my NON-Postscript capable HP-5L LaserJet using
Ghostscript. A Freeware Postscript processor. I run this on Windows
XP. It works great. The dimensions come out perfect.
