Sorry about my bad englsih
Welcome to EAGLE and the forum! No need to apologise for your english, it's not bad, I can understand what you are asking 🙂

How to get rid of the component symbols when printing?? Can't use my print to lightening wih UV-lamp and then etching.
Just want the solder pads and wires on the print. Will print on "over head film", use UV light, developp and etch
So it sounds like you are printing from the File->Print... dialog in the board, which for what you are doing will likely work although you may have to do a few test prints to make sure the scaling is exactly what you expect in case your printer driver / printer has caused a scaling change.
So the first thing you need to do is change the display to show just the layers you are wanting to print. I think in your case you are only using the top layer? If this is the case, issue the following command to the EAGLE command line in the board editor.
DISPLAY NONE TOP PADS
You should now see JUST what you want to print. You can now go to the print dialog with File->Print... In the resulting dialog, check the option to print in black, ensure your correct printer is selected and run the print.
Alternatively you can get it to print it straight away without the dialog by issuing the command:
PRINT 1.0 BLACK;
Note the ; on the end, this will make it send the output to the printer without showing the dialog. The 1.0 is the scaling factor, it should default to 1.0 but I am adding it here so if you need to change the scaling factor to correct the resulting print size and you are using the command line you'll know what you need to alter. So, once it's printed check the resulting output carefully for scaling and go back and adjust as necessary.
You can also achieve what you want with the CAM processor but it'll take more effort and although it's likely you'll want to learn and understand how to use the CAM processor, as it's how you generate outputs when you send designs to be fabricated by a PCB manufacturer, it'll make what you are trying to achieve now more complicated.
