I would also like to see the command you use to capture the image from the screen, convert it to monochrome, and then send it to the printer. I am trying to use: WPXXXX# foxwd -display WPXXXX:0 -root -out TEMP.xwd | xwd2ps -m TEMP.xwd | lpr -PLPYY And I keep getting a color printout. The -m switch doesn't seem to do anything.

The overlay has two buttons for each printer, one for normal colour and a second to reverse the black and white. The script uses the foxwd command and then pipes it to xwd2ps then to the printer.
