Homebrew PCBs

FreePCB has not implemented the print function.  You need to generate 
the CAM files (Gerbers) and view them with a free viewer such as 
GC-Prevue from Graphicode.  There are others, but GC-Prevue is the one I 
use.  It is quite capable of printing any layer or layers normal or 
reversed, at scale or filling the page.  .    The other technique I use 
is to fill the screen with the board being designed, do a "Screen Print" 
to the clipboard, then paste into my free graphic viewer of choice, 
Irfanview.  Go to "edit" and invert the colors so that the background 
goes to white -- saves on toner or ink as the case may be.  This method 
is nice when I start troubleshooting the board as it's in color and I 
can easily trace a signal as I see the front and back simultaneously 
without confusion.  Either of these methods takes less than a minute.
