Yes, you can define a KEY-PRINT trigger. When this trigger is fired, you can have a predefined SQL*ReportWriter (or SQLPLUS or whatever) report fired off that will effectively give a print of the details on the screen. The advantage of this, of course, is that you can set up the "screen print" in your choice of format.

In our application, we actually use a menu option that fires off a report.
