If its when the system is up and running, you can make a little
program that snarfs the video memory, and then convert the
attributes to the given colorprinters language.
I once had a screen print function on my TODO list for syscons,
but well...
If its under a genuine installation, hmm, that takes some
"interesting" code hacks, or a color camera :)
