Hijaak Pro does DOS screen captures and allows you to save them in a million
different file formats. As far as making Print Screen print to a file, check
your DOS manual. I am not sure if it's possible.

The SimTel software repository is usually a good place to search for
things like this. You can access it by
ftp://ftp.coast.net/SimTel/msdos/
or http://www.coast.net/SimTel/

One of these should do the trick:

SimTel/msdos/gif/
scr2gif2.zip 27520 8 900927 Capture EGA/VGA screens, then convert to GIF

SimTel/msdos/graphics/
pcxut.zip 69410 8 901223 PCX screen capture & viewing programs

SimTel/msdos/printer/
lpt2dsk.zip 6873 8 870325 Capture LPT output to a disk file

SimTel/msdos/screen/
scthf158.zip 137474 8 950925 ScreenThief: Screen capture to
GIF/PCX/TIF/BMP

SimTel/msdos/vga/
vga2eps.zip 33963 8 920807 Capture VGA 640x350/640x480 screen to EPS
file
