two answers off the top of my head.

run your command (man page, screen, whatever) through tee
as in
man telnet | tee -a /tmp/screencap.txt
tee casues a T in your output pipe.. one copy to screen, teh other to 
file.

the other method is to log in twice and cut & paste from one window to 
the other. 

native screen capture, that is, push a button and out pops a file/print 
job, would be a function of your Telnet program, not Unix.

I use terraterm (with the ssh extenstions) and it has a copy/paste 
function that can copy highlighted text,  but not a print screen 
function. Others might. Some might even emulate the original vt100 "print 
screen" function, but good luck finding one.
