You can find and inspect the official sceme files; they are in C:\Program Files\Stata 9\ado.
Looking more carefully at scheme_s2mono.scheme I realized that there are three instructions for grid color, so a revised scheme file is:
* scheme-mys2mono.scheme
#include s2mono
color background gs14
color grid gs10
color major_grid gs10
color minor_grid gs10
I think it does what Hiroshi wants.

Is there any way to edit/customize -s2mono- itself so that it incorporates
my gray scale preference (gs14) for the background and grid lines? I would
then like to name the thus edited -s2mono- something like
-s2mono_modified- and -set scheme s2mono_modified, perm-. (I know I could
specify gray scale options each time I draw a graph, but I have drawn
hundreds of graphs and will draw even more in the future. So, that
solution is not practical.)
==============================================================
Yes, you can. This scheme file (with the name scheme-mys2mono.scheme)
modifies the s2mono scheme.
* scheme-mys2mono.scheme
#include s2mono
color background gs14
color grid gs10
Save the scheme file in C:\ado\personal, and:
set scheme mys2mono , permanently
You may want to experiment to get the preferred color of background and
gridlines. BTW, I doubt that your experiences are related to Windows XP
vs. Windows Vista. Did you get another printer as well? Printers (and
toner) differ.
Hope this helps
