 Hi Dmitry,

 I am very surprise you get "dithered colors" when you print a ROOT Color 
PS file on a BW printer. We do have a BW printer here and for me it works 
fine. Reading your email suggest that you do not have this problem with 
PAW PS file. This is even more surprising because PAW PS files and ROOT 
PS files are very similar. Can you send me a PS file having this problem ?

 Cheers,        Olivier
