That did the trick. Now I can print specific layers :-)
But what I really want, is a print of the components on the bottom side of 
the board. So I added --action-string 'SwapSides()' to the command line.
Unfortunately, this gets me a segfault: 

$ pcb -x eps --layer-stack "bottom,silk" \

Found default_font in /usr/local/bin/../share/pcb
Loading file phasen.pcb took 3.810000 seconds of CPU time
Executing startup action SwapSides()
Segmentation fault

Note, whatever causes this, is exposed by my command line print patch.
Without the patch the action string would not be executed in the first 
place. It is not a general problem, though. Other actions like Display()
are executed fine.

Any idea where to look for a reason for the segfault?

Sure. Is there any other? ;-)

Ok, I'll bite.
Looks like the manual is derived from pcb/doc/pcb.texi . So I'll edit 
this file and and post a diff to this mailing list, right?
