GRAPHICS
Enable graphics screen dump to IBM printers (CGA,EGA and VGA)
The GRAPHICS command will make it possible to print graphics displays

properly, the printer must be a compatible printer type. The screen
graphics display must be CGA,EGA, VGA or 8514/A.
COMMAND TYPE: External VERSION: 2.0 and up
USE: GRAPHICS [type] [profile][/r][/b][/lcd][/printbox:id]

profile (DOS 4.x only) is the name of a file containing information on
all supported printers. If not supplied, graphics.pro is used.
/r to print black and white on the printer as they are seen on the
monitor. If you do not specify /R then black will be printed as white
and white will be printed as black.
/b prints the background in color. This switch is only valid on
multi-color printers. The default is to not print the background
color.
/lcd will print using the LCD aspect ration rather than the CGA aspect ratio
/printbox:id selects the print box size. "id" should be "ST" or "LCD"
In the high resolution modes the image will be printed on the printer
sideways. The default printer type is GRAPHICS if none is supplied on
the command line
NOTE: Graphic screen dumps will take longer than text screen dumps.
Text screen dumps will still be possible after the GRAPHICS command is
executed.
