Hi, guys. I am doing a computer project and need to print out some DOS screen capture of my progam. In order to save lots of ink, I need to change my black DOS background to white and the text to black.

Can this be done in Windows XP Professional or do I need do it using a graphic program?

Thanks,

Darr
 
In your graphics program use "negative image".
I use Paint Shop Pro.

It can be done directly. In Start-menu, right-click Command Prompt. Select Properties, Colours, Screen background and white in the palette.
 
PAnderson is right. I was thinking full screen.
By the way, try to capture at the size you want to print. Captures of dos (or any screen for that matter) don't scale all that well.
