Rob,
Surely there are other ways. Possibly better ones. May be faster ones. But if the client has Word this function works fine:

lparameters siventana
if pcount() = 0
siventana = .f.
endif

declare keybd_event in win32api ;
short bvk, short bscan, integer dwflags, integer deextrainfo
activate screen
vuelta = keybd_event(44, iif(siventana, 0, 1), 0, 0) && esto copia al portapapeles
wait window "Imprimiendo pantalla..." timeout 1 && necesary to wait task done

obj_word = createobject("word.application")
obj_word.documents.Add()
obj_word.Selection.Paste
obj_word.activedocument.printout(.f.)
obj_word.quit(0)
release obj_word
