[comp.sys.mac] Screen Dumping on a Mac II

Does anybody know how to make a Mac II do a screen dump to disk?
Command-Shift-3 doesn't work.

Put it in two-color mode via the control panel, then hit Command-shift-3.
I don't have an ImageWriter handy, but my guess is Command-shift-4 probably
works in two-color mode, too.

Not much help if you wanted a colored screen dump, but better than nothing,
I say.

Just make sure your screen is in 1-bit, black and white mode. Then it
works just fine.

The screen dump to printer has problems when the window gets too large
but works fine otherwise...
