A screen shot of a ps file? That sounds ... weird. If you can view it,
presumably you have Ghostscript and that can do png files.

However, will textual output do?

  plot(0,type="n",axes=FALSE, xlab="", ylab="")
  con <- textConnection("txt","w")
  sink(con); ftable(UCBAdmissions); sink()
  close(con)
  par(family="mono")
  text(1,0,paste(txt,collapse="\n"))
