Greetings.

I have a program that creates a beautiful 8-bit color image in an off
screen pix map and copybits it to the screen.  It works wonderfully.
However, wonderful is never enough.  Now I'm told to >PRINT< out my
masterpiece on the LaserWriter in gray scale.

I have very little (read: NIL) time to do it but yet must.  Does anybody
know how to print in gray scale on the LaserWriter?  Right now I just
CopyBits my pix map to the printer and get straight black and white.
No good!  I play with the color map so I can also get gray scale on the
screen, but how do I get it to the printer?!?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!  I'll be forever indebted to anyone
who can help me pull this off.

Thanks much.
