Homebrew PCBs

Go to the following menu to hide the components layout
View->Display/hide layers and unselect the layers you don't want to 
show. 
I just unselect all then select the layers <Bottom, via, Pads>
if you have double layer PCB then you can choose <Top, Via, Pads>

to get ready for printing do the following.
1- File->Export->Image.
2- Export your image.
3- Open it on MS Paint.
4- Press Ctrl+I
5- Save your image again
6- Print it.
