From DannyR's faq on actions:
Q: Can I print action steps?
A: Yes, but you cannot print them directly from the Actions Palette. First the Actions Palette must be saved in text file (.txt) format.
• Click any Action Set Name (not Action Name) in the Actions Palette. It makes no difference which one is selected.
• While simultaneously holding down Alt + Ctrl, choose Save Actions from the Actions Palette menu. Notice the file name box is automatically populated with file name Actions.txt. (You can change this name if you like.)
• When OK is clicked Photoshop converts the entire contents of the Actions Palette into a text file (.txt) and places it in the location specified in the dialog box.
• To display on-screen or print the contents of Actions.txt, open it with your program of choice. (I normally use Microsoft Word.) Action Sets in Actions.txt are in the same order as in the Actions Palette.
Notes:
• There is no way to select individual Action Sets or specific actions to be saved in this process. Photoshop converts the entire contents of the Actions Palette. It’s all or nothing.
