I use this mapping to print syntax highlighted C++ code in B&W.

This tip needs print_bw.

The mapping is as follows

map <C-p> :color print_bw<CR>:hardcopy<CR>:color sean<CR>:syn on<CR>

Change ":color sean" to whatever is your chosen color scheme.

Need to change line 7 of print_bw from "syntax reset" to "syntax off".

<C-p> on a syntax highlighted buffer turns off syntax highlighting, sets the colors to B&W, prints the buffer, resets the color scheme and turns on syntax highlighting again.
