I do not know much about print since I am a web guy, but I do understand that you need a high resolution, higher than 72 for things to look good.
Is the solution to my problem just taking the screenshot, setting the resolution to 300dpi, and then printing? How do you guys go about making a hard copy of your portfolio?

Scale the image in your image editing software in inches to your print size and set the DPI at 300. Make sure to use bi-cubic resizing. This will be pretty good. One thing to note is there is lot of things that can cuase problems, make sure to save to a lossless format like BMP or TIFF. The printer settings can of course affect it too.
When you scale up it produces a softer image but you won't have the pixealtion. You can also scale it in steps and use a noise filtering application like Neat Image in between steps which will give you much sharper image in the end.
If you got a lot of dough and already have Photoshop look up Genuine Fractals.
