try   www.expresspcb.com

Yes 'expresspcb" is a fairly user friendly program I have used it for several years its free and it gets revised periodically.
The drawback is that the PC board design which is part of the Schematic produces a none Standard File  (Gerber File), meaning that it is propitiatory and you must send your PCB layout to express pcb,as they are the only ones that can process it to produce a PCB from their file.
They give you a free Program but their charges for the End Product are very high.
I paid 120 dollars for a 3x4 inch double sided  Proto Board.  Also their library is very limited.
If you just want to draw a Schematic and make some Symbols yourself  I guess it will suffice.

Hi
The previous versions was not print friendly. On the latest version I could print the pc board without problems and produced it from transparancies printed on a laser printer. Two prints on top of each other.
