I've wrestled with this problem too.  The best solution I've
come across is LPT2DSK, a shareware (or PD?) program which does
a good job of trapping all printer output (including
print-screen) to a disk file.  In a nutshell, the program is run
from the DOS command line, starts a new version of COMMAND, and
henceforth all printer lines go to a file.  The file isn't
closed until you subsequently 'exit' back to the original
COMMAND shell;  you then find the output in a file with the name
LPT2DSK.x, where x matches the printer port (LPTx:).

I've had no problems with it.  It's available from The Source as
LPT2DSK.ARC.  The author doesn't request a contribution, but
neither does he mention if it's public domain.  Author is George
