Ed,
Thanks for your attention to this problem. I have a home grown solution to this but it has real problems printing grids. The situation is this: most of my users have only dot matrix printers. I need them to be able to do screen prints and fax them to me from time to time. What I need on the screen print is just the labels and data on the screen - in black and white without any shading from screen colors etc. In your reply you mention greyscale conversion. Will this result in just a black and white result or will it print out a greyscale? Anything in greyscale from a dot matrix printer will almost certainly be illegible on a fax. Thanks for your help.
