    take a screen shot of the website then take it into photoshop, increase the resolution from 72dpi to 300 dpi, make sure the 'resample image' box is checked.

    Then (and this is the important bit) from the drop-down menu next to the check box select 'nearest neighbour' NOT 'bicubic'

    Nearest Neighbour will resample the image in pixels so all the edges stay sharp and look pixel-like – which is what you want for a website being printed:


    (sample at 300dpi)

    Bicubic will resample the image and anti alias everything so it will look blurry ie not what you want:


    (sample at 300dpi)
