If you are trying to dump the screen of a terminal connected to the
phone or rs232 port, I think you are out of luck, as UNIX has no idea
what's on it, at least at the kernel level.  As you probably know, the
console screen is memory mapped, so when you press the shift-print
key, it wakes up a system daemon that reads this section of memory
and formats it for an epson and sends this data to the lp spooler for
printing.  Now if it were Berkeley.... :-)
