I've already seen this and much more. My problem still is, that I don't work for me.
I always get just a white picture without any text if I use

  convert source.ps -colors 2 -colospace gray -normalize dest.png

I'm also wondering why

  convert -density 200 source.ps -colorspace gray dest.png

gives me a 64bit TrueColor-picture as result.

Quite good works for me

  convert -type grayscale -density 200 -monochrome source.ps dest.png

But there is a fork-effect with the letters. Although I need to print the pictures sometimes I can't use this. Maybe someone has a hint for me with this last line...

The 2-bit-image isn't a dogma. It's just that I have an archiv filled with picture from a scanner which only delivers b/w-pictures, but dithered. That looks not bad. I still think that the pictures I print over postscript-driver -> samba -> ps-file -> convert -> png should better be in 8 bit with 256 grayscales. But the size of the pictures is to much. If I reload these pictures and save them again I can have half the size.
