[line-eater bait]

I am having a great deal of difficulty printing graphics
out on a dot matrix printer, when the graphics boards in
question are the Hercules and the EGA board.  My trouble
with the Hercules board may be self-inflicted - the only
piece of software i have left from Hercules is HGC.COM,
so if they provide their own GRAPHICS.COM with the board
i am out of luck.

The EGA board is quite persistant in refusing to dump
graphics.  I have been told, by IBM tech support no
less, that one needs 3.2 DOS to dump graphics, but i
have had no luck with it.  I have heard rumors to the
effect that there exists a PD routine to dump graphics,
but that is all i have, rumors. 

In both cases i am trying to dump graphics from within
a program.  Interrupt 5 seems to be stumped, and so am i.

			Help!
