I'm under the impression (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong), that you can't take screenshots from films?

If this is true, the way you'd have to do it, would be with something like Paint Shop Pro... It has a feature called "capture". You'd pause your film at the moment you'd like your screenshot, "capture" it, (it'll go straight to Paint Shop Pro), resize to fit paper and print it from that...

I'm sure someone else has an easier/better solution, and I'm not even sure you can pause the darn film either...

Vudka is correct. although when u pause the film viewer certain effects continue to play, then dissapear. ie.... tracer smoke. i usually just hit print screen with the film playing, then pause it, alt-tab to what ever graphics program u are using, then paste in the screeny. also i jack up my screen res to 1600 x 1200 when doing screen shots to get the highest resolution possible. your computer may support higher resolutions. u will then need to crop out the user interface from the film viewer, leaving just the screenshot. also adjusting levels and hue-saturation in your graphics app can work wonders for the screenshots.

You used to be able to take screenshots in the film viewer.
But that was in Aces High I, you could open the films when in the game.
Now you need to open the film viewer where you cannot take any screenshots

(Taking ss's from film viewer wasn't great, since you'd always get the little 'R' left above the screen and the radio bar right above)
