I thought you would just press the print screen button on a high resolution monitor and resize it in photoshop to fit your needs. But that's just my take on it and it's pretty easy.

It's a bit of a pain if your site vertically scrolls.... If you're using FF, there's an extension that can take a snapshot of the entire page - even a page that is too tall to fit in the browser window, that you would normally have to scroll. Apparently it auto-scrolls the page, takes snapshots and sticks them together.
I keep meaning to install it myself - I think it's called "Screen grab!"

I use a little program called Snag-It which also lets you scroll down while taking the screen shot.

penders: ‘Screen Grab!’ is good, but can run out of memory on very large pages. Another quicker and more efficient option is ‘Pearl Crescent Page Saver’, but due to a bug in Gecko it currently doesn’t capture plugins properly.

I believe you can point your page using browsershots dot org or use a browsercam dot com account to show a full-page screen shot. You can then save the .jpg file -- but I don't know the resolution. Should be fine for output on an office-type printer.
