The following applies only to people running gEDA/gaf 1.9.x.

1) To generate a monochrome PDF file, you don't need to bother with
gschem at all; just run:

  gaf export -o foo.pdf foo.sch

Or to get a colour PDF:

  gaf export -co foo.pdf foo.sch

2) To force gschem to print in monochrome, add:

  (print-color "disabled")

to your ~/.gEDA/gschemrc file.  In theory, gschem should detect if
you're printing to a BW printer and just Do The Right Thing, but I
haven't actually tested that.
