I do not think what you ask is possible.
It is not in a printable form. There is only one network management
product that was ever made that was capable of this, it was Cisco's
Netcentral (which scotty looks quite like incidentally). It saved the
maps in a native PostScript format. Alas, they stopped producing it
when heavy duty competition from Dec, Cabletron, HP, and Sun started.
It was pretty nice, and had low overhead until they added all of the
LU6.2 and SNA management stuff. That, I think was the turning point
that sent them down hill.. But, I digress..
