Capture yahoo map output for printing

I've a bit of a challenge here.

I want to print off a yahoo map which I have populated with markers.

At the moment, the only way to do this successfully is to print to file
as a postscript file, and then print it to the printer.

What I really want to do is to capture the page as postscript, then use
headers, or similar, to stream output to the browser or an iframe, and
trigger the print dialog. Even saving it to a local file would be nice.

How would I get the visual output of a page or image in such a method?

This is a client function. Unless you work for Yahoo!, there's no way
for php to really be involved in this.
