Can you please let me know how to covert a BufferedImage to a byte array???

So, you have managed to miss This is not general help... message.

Btw, you could make your question more understandable if you want help.

Can you please let me know how to covert a BufferedImage to a byte array???

What is a buffered image and a byte array?

Anyway, here a version which takes a screenshot, convert it to greyscale, save it as a jpg image and finally convert that image to a binary string.

Convert to greyscale is done with GDI+ but can be done with less code using e.g. inline ASM code:

Look in script dir for the results.
