1) Use a JavaScript trigger to print the screen. Downside is this includes any course player framework you have shown.
2) Use a custom Flash piece to print through AS3. Upside is you get a nice print framed up however you want including landscape. You can also save to a JPEG using this method. Downside is this won't work at all in HTML5.
3) Use a custom HTML file attached as a Web Object that grabs variable values from the story file and dynamically generates a printable assembly. This is relatively simple but requires some HTML / CSS and JavaScript chops.
4) Use a JavaScript trigger to dynamically generate a popup window and populate it with layout and graphics. This is a little more complicated but requires less dependencies.
Happy to help if you need an example for a few of these.

Thanks for your response.
Would you mind sending me a copy of the JavaScript trigger?
Thanks, I appreciate it!!
