Programmatically or do you just need a tool that does screen captures?  If
the latter, you can use either xv or the screen capture feature of the
Gimp.  Those will produce a raster image that you can then convert to
Postscript (which will really only be a vector wrapping around a raster
image).

If you need to do so from within your program, look at the Gimp screen
capture plug-in or xwd to see how they do it.

Keep in mind that screen dumps are at 72DPI and printing is not, so your
image on paper is likely to be significatnly smaller.  You may need to
scale it up in size before printing.
