You should be able to grab the picture directly from the screen 
into postscript using SCRtoPS utility from Offe Enterprises,
1163 E. Ogden Avenue, #705-131, Naperville, IL 60563 (312)-357-6679.
Will convert color to greyscale for the printer (you'll need that with
GIF pictures).  This way you can adjust the picture on the screen (size,
brightness, whatever) before printing it.  SCRtoPS also allows sizing etc.
and works on SuperVGA modes of Paradise etc. VGA cards.  You can read the
postscript file into WordPerfect, Ventura Publisher etc.
