A simple script layout-print.sh that postprocesses the png output of pcb 
with the convert utility from the imagemagick suite:

/-------------------
#!/bin/bash
PCBFILE=$1
OUTPNG=`basename $PCBFILE .pcb`"_layout.png"

pcb -x png --photo-mode --dpi 600  --use-alpha --only-visible \
     --outfile /tmp/out.png $PCBFILE

convert /tmp/out.png \
   \( +clone -background black -shadow 75x20+20+20 \) \
     +swap  -background white -layers merge -resize 50% $OUTPNG
\-------------------

This was inspired by a posting on the mailing list, some months back, 
when photo realistic rendering was new. The shadow trick was taken from 
an imagemagick HOWTO.

PS: Big thanks to Ben for this awsome output mode!
