I think there is a better way. Just download a VGA screen capture utility such
the VGACAP available on several anonymous accounts. Then use the utility to 
convert the screen image to a PCX file. You can load it into a graphic editor
like PaintBrush and then print the picture in color on your DJ500C...

Good luck.

Sincerely,

Steve Jordi
