If all other attempts fail maybe you could print it out on a very good
printer, then scan it back into a program that can store the file in a
format that board fab houses accept. Just give the board fab a ring and
see if they'd accept HPGL, DXF or some other popular format that a
graphics program can generate. I don't know whether there are Gerber
converter programs that could spit out Gerber from a scanned file but it
wouldn't surprise me if such software exists.

Else you could talk to a board fab outside the US, maybe in a country
where hi-tech isn't as advanced as here. Chances are, they might still
have their cameras.
