If it's the Windows version, what's wrong with File/Print?

I get great results from 4.16r1 with an inkjet printer and
transparancies as follows:

Display only the layer/pads you want artwork for
Select the File/Print menu item
Select Black under style, scale factor 1
Hit the Page... button and turn off Caption, fiddle with border and
alignment to put the image where you want it*, hit OK.
Hit the Printer... button and set paper type and printer resolution
(trial and error here, you'll have to experiment with these settings
whatever method you use for printing your artwork), hit OK
Make sure the right paper/transparancy is in the printer and hit OK

*for small designs, I re-use transparancies and print the image in a
blank area... this does require some care at not getting finger prints
all over the transparancy while using it...

I had poor results with the Linux version, BUT that was due to the
printer driver being stuck in a draft mode.  I've not tried since I
fixed the printer settings, but see no reason it wouldn't do as well
as the Windows version now.
