It is possible to combine EPS output to yield the desired printout.

Excerpt from my print script that produces the result attached to this mail:
(Note, the action string option will fail with unless my rejected patch to 
hidnogui.c was applied)

/--------------------------
$PCB -x eps \
  --action-string 'DISPLAY(NameOnPCB)' \
  --element-color '#000000' \
  --pin-color '#cccccc' \
  --layer-color-1 '#999999' \
  --layer-color-2 '#bbbbbb' \
  --layer-color-3 '#aaaaaa' \
  --layer-color-4 '#555555' \
  --layer-color-5 '#aaaaaa' \
  --as-shown  \
  --layer-stack "outline,comment,elements,bottom" \
  --eps-file "/tmp/out2.eps" \
  $PCBFILE

$PCB -x eps \
  --action-string 'DISPLAY(Value)' \
  --element-color '#000000' \
  --pin-color '#cccccc' \
  --layer-color-1 '#999999' \
  --layer-color-2 '#bbbbbb' \
  --layer-color-3 '#aaaaaa' \
  --layer-color-4 '#555555' \
  --layer-color-5 '#aaaaaa' \
  --as-shown  \
  --layer-stack "elements" \
  --eps-file "/tmp/out3.eps" \
  $PCBFILE

## Derive a see-thru of bottom with awk and tail (very dirty hack)
awk 'NR == 20 { exit } { print }' /tmp/out3.eps > /tmp/out23.ps
awk 'NR <= 20 { next } $1 == "showpage" { exit } { print }' /tmp/out2.eps >> /tmp/out23.ps
awk 'NR <= 20 { next } $1 == "showpage" { exit } { print }' /tmp/out3.eps >> /tmp/out23.ps
tail -n 6 /tmp/out3.eps >> /tmp/out23.ps
poster -mA4 -p$SIZE -c12x12mm -o "/tmp/bw23.ps" "/tmp/out23.eps"
