I *think* -- and it's a bit hard to tell from your
description -- that you want to print the client
area of a window, and not the non-client area
(which includes the max/min/close buttons).

A lot depends on whether it's your window or
someone else's. If it's yours, then you have some
control over the styling and do at least have the
window handle available to you. If it's someone
else's, you have to employ some fairly dark magic
to do what I think you want.

Depending on what you're after, you might find
the PIL ImageGrab module at least a useful tool:

But could you be more precise as to what you're
trying to do?
