Although you haven't said so, I presume your 'paper' output is
produced by a black and white printer?

You have to define a "theme" (a collection of graphical parameters)
that is "nice" for both screen and paper. Once you come up with such a
collection of parameters, ?trellis.par.set should tell you how to set
them globally. If you want someone else to come up with such a list,
you are probably out of luck (but see ?col.whitebg for a not-very-good
approach).
