printimg transfers from express PCB

How do i print or export an image for a transfer from express PCB?
If I try printing i get runtime error '482' ??

PCB express wants you to use their service so you "can't" print a scale image of your layout.
BUT you can print to file (pdf) with an application like Cutepdf. You just hit print and select
cute pdf (or whatever you use) and it will print a 1:1 scale image of your layout. Cool huh?!
Filehippo.com has a free download of cutepdf. You can also do this with Adobe Acrobat etc.

Hi guys,

What version of ExpressPCB are you using?  For me with their latest, Version: 7.0.2, i can skip the intermediate print to PDF step and print direct to transparency from ExpressPCB.  In earlier versions when i tried the direct print i'd get an odd looking version of my layout then discovered the pdf trick and finally don't need the pdf at all anymore.  Version: 7.0.2   http://www.expresspcb.com/ExpressPCBHtm/Download.htm

I don't know which version I'm using, but I've been using it for a little over a year, and I've never had a problem printing it out direct from the program.
