Homebrew PCBs

Ah yes, I see what you are saying.  The test I did this morning was 
a very small board about 2" x 2" in the upper left corner of the 
sheet.  This moved the sheet center off of the PCB area on the print 
out.  If I just make sure I keep atleast part of the PCB on the 
centerline of the paper, I should be alright...

Phew.. drove myself nuts with that this morning!  I should know 
better than to roll out of bed and start thinking right away!
