  11. Roberto,

  13. I trick that will at least allow the LaserWriter to print B&W versions of a
  14. color image is one that I use in a color MacPaint program that I wrote for my
  15. "Programming the Mac II" course given at MacWorld Expo last year.
  16.  
  17. When I tried CopyBits to the Printer port, the pritning code bombed.  If I did
  18. this, it worked:
  19.  
  20.     SetPort(offscren grafport)
  21.     OpenPicture
  22.     CopyBits
  23.     ClosePicture
  24.  
  25.     DrawPicture(printer grafport)
  26.  
  27. Now, the DrawPicture routine will interpret the colors, and turn them into B&W.
  28.  
  29. Would this help?
