On the terminals I am familiary with, there is some sort of prin screen
key.  The steps to do what you want could be broken down into a few simple
steps:

1.  Figure out what sequence of characters turns on the aux port of
    your terminal.  Perhaps a terminfo type database for your program could
    work.

2.  Send a byte stream to your terminal that gets sent back out the aux port
   (see step 1).

I have seen a program like this somewhere, but can remember how.
