I do not think so. Dilwan has written a program to save screen files.

SideWinder and SideWinder deLuxe from Steve Jones were very comprehensive 
programs to print QL Screen Pictures (and later also partial saved QPTR PIC 
dumps and Eye-Q Screens) onto paper. The program was written in SB with 
hefty use of MC extensions, then QLiberated. Steve had put in a lot of 
suggestions, I have made (i.e. the PIC ability). The program was also able 
to print just a part of the screen. Printing was possible with many passes, 
for 8 and 24 pin printers (the latter was suggested by me, I gave my LQ 2550 
manual to him for the codes).

I have not tested it under QPC, maybe it does not work, if Steve has used 
$20000 instead of the OS. If someone has his address, he should contact me. 
The program is so very good, it would be a shame not to use it.

Cheers...Ralf
