Get the pbmplus public-domain archive (see comp.archives for info
about where it is).  On my b/w Sun 3/75, I type:

screendump | rasttopbm | pnmflip -cw | pgmtops -s 0.67 | lpr -Ppost

to get a screendump on the Postscript printer.  (It looks like a slow
dog, but the processes are all pretty lightweight.)

It handles color-rasts to postscript too, with commandlines like:

[color-screendump] | rasttoppm | ppmtopgm | pgmtops -s n.nn | lpr -Ppost

It's pretty neat.  I've been using it to convert gif's to postscript.

Just another Postscript hacker,
