Well, not on screenshots specifically, but if you are going to be
printing, make sure its on heavy stock paper. Sometimes, the ink bleeds
through/smudges on the "normal" paper that's common in printing shops.
You could then cut the printed shot (in the heavy stock paper) and then
attach it to a larger sheet and maybe highlight any features.
If its photos -- you could try printing it on the special glossy photo
paper.
Sorry, probably not what you wanted.
