Okay, I figured part of this out. With a previous version of pcb I printed the
eps files like this: "lpr myfile.pcb.output_front.ps". With the current version
of pcb, I only get the postscript text (many pages) printed. But I can just
print the ps file now.  That gives me a one to one. But, alas, I still haven't
been able to enlarge it with gimp without loosing quality. The print output of
pcb has changed from the previous version I was using. Currently, gimp chokes on
the eps output of pcb.
