This isn't a Windows program but Protel Easy Trax has drivers for Linotron
1200 dpi. Put the ".pcb" file through Easy Plot to a disk and take the post
script file to a printers' bureau for the best film you have ever seen.
I've had great success with double sided boards (.010" tracks on .025"
centres) that are better than some commercial houses do.

Unless you have access to a Linotron, I dont think home printing is worth
the effort.
