How to print bitmaps from clipboard?

I would like to print a window or the whole screen on
a postscript printer. From the MS-Windows reference manual
I read that this can be achived by PrintScreen or Alt-PrintScreen.
This will put a bitmap on the clipboard. But there is no "print"
on the clipboard menus. I have pasted the contents of the clipboard
in Arts & Letters (3.11), but this takes ages to print bitmaps from
Arts & letters! A&L takes 5 minutes to print the bitmap of a full screen
dump (on a Dell 486D/33) and the printer takes apprx. 20 minutes 
(is a Dataproducts LZR1260).

Is there an alternative? Any tools to print clipboard files?
Or am I on the wrong track? Any help appreciated!

Please e-mail to me, I will post a summary.
