File, Print Setup..., <Bitmap File>.

Well this is an easy one: I use it all the time (more or less).
It is what it says, the outcome is a bitmap (bmp, iff ilbm, jpeg, png, pcx, pict or tiff). If you have a document containing several pages, be sure to select at 'Which: Page' if you want only one page you are looking at. Save it (it is a bitmap!).
Give it a name with (!) the extension you are wanting to use (bmp, iff ilbm, jpeg, png, pcx, pict or tiff).

It gives a correct bitmap which you can print. Even better (sometimes) than a pdf and printing that pdf (has something to do with shades of color, which aren't always correct in the pdf-output)!
