Unless something has change that I'm unaware of, the Windows build of
PCB  does not print at all (you have to export PostScript to the
Windows GhostScript) nor does it handle the library paths correctly.
So I'd not jump up and down just yet comparing this current package to
KiCAD or EAGLE to work on Windows.

I'll get you the 1.7.x build when I get home to add to the 1.6.x. releases.
