These incantations come from ghostscript's "Use.htm" document..  If
you don't need
color, you can try "-sDEVICE=pnggray".  Note that this uses
anti-aliasing, which
looks better on a screen but may cause problems on typical
laserprinters (some may
refuse to print, others will try to render the grays by dithering).
