Does anyone have a program to translate grey scale or bitmap graphics
to an ascii (ie. line printer) approximation of the image?

Look in "Digital Image Processing" by Gonzalez and Wintz.  Appendix A has
some FORTRAN code to do this.  This book is readily available and is used
in the SIGGRAPH courses.
