I do the same thing. Usually I can just use the default B&W scheme
(loadct,0) and natively create the image that way. Perhaps reducing
the number of contour or shade levels will help the contrast. Or perhaps
adding a contour overlay on top of the image may help.

One trick that sometimes works (but usually doesn't) is to
use your normal color scheme (EOS) but not set the /color keyword to
the ps device command. That seems to directly translate your color scheme
into B&W. The problem, is that distinct colors can get mapped to similar
shades of grey.

Cheers,
bob
