Wade,
Cutting through all the chaff, the only answer that counts is TIFF, either grayscale or CMYK.

Capture the screen as a bitmap (BMP). Open in Photoshop and save as a PSD. Adjust size (at 300 dpi resolution) to the size you want on the printed page. Convert to grayscale or CMYK. Save as TIFF. You're done.

I didn't mean to say that my boss wants me to re-create screen shots
using vector graphics, or convert a rastered image to a vector image or
any thing else along those lines.

For the purposes of this discussion, I only care about what file format
most people use for screen shots in manuals that they are having
professionally printed (i.e. like a soft cover book you find at a book
store).

Thanks and sorry for the confusion.
