Print to pdf (pdf995 is one product) then print that to the Dell.

Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] Winboard pcb layout vs. Dell 1720 laser printer
I can't print any of my many PCB layouts with my new printer.
I have a lot of PCBs laid out with Winboard 2.25. (The company selling it went out of business years ago). My old laser printer died so I bought a Dell 1720. It won't run on any software older than WIN2000.
I am running XP on a couple of my computers. Winboard is running under WIN95 on some old computers. Winboard does not run under XP.
(Someone loaded a patch for Winboard 2.25 to make it 2.27 to a public website. I haven't been able to get it to install).
SO I can't print any of my layouts.
Does anyone know of other PCB software which could read the Winboard PCB files and runs under XP, so I could print them?
Any other solutions?
Thanks
