I don't know if this helps. There is a utility called MKPCL that will
take any bitmap and turn it into PCL.
It's native mode is Black and White.
I've used it and it works. It is a DOS based utility from

Thank you to all for the program suggestions for
converting an image to PCL (or PS).
That's not my question.
Say I've converted an color image to PCL. It produces
PCL code meant for a color printer. Great. Now for the
part that I'm looking for do. How would I then take
that PCL code (color), and change it so that it will
print on a PCL non-color printer (make the assumption
I no longer have the original image to reconvert using
a printer driver, and make the assumption that I'd
rather not, run the color PCL into a program to convert
it b&w PCL.
I guess I'm looking for information on how to convert
the color to b&w, what does the driver do to achieve this?
It's not something per say that I want to actually write
code to do....what want to understand what the driver is
doing. suggestions on search terms for google would be fine
as well.
So far the standard "PCL color to black and white" haven't
really turned up the specifics of how it's done.
