Alright I knew it has been thrown around a bit before; mostly with people saying "forget about it". However, I'm not asking how to or what not, I'm providing people with some URLs to examine to do this service.
If you are wanting a easy, quick, free solution for a small website try: http://websnapr.com/
If you are wanting the screenshots for a high-traffic website that depends on these screenshots or you need more control, I suggest you dedicate a Linux box running khtml2png: http://khtml2png.sourceforge.net/
I know their are other ways, and other ways to the other way; ether way my point is proven. It can be done, and it's not as hard as some people clam.
If you know of a better way to take these screenshots please comment.
Sites to look at:

It can be done pretty easily with some W32 API and Delphi. Whether it would be better than your option or not remains to be seen. I'm lazy to implement it though 
Once I thought doing a site which would give the users the exact image that both IE, FF and opera renders out of the html (trying to fight against incompabilities, you know...) I'm unsure whether such a site exists already or not,...

This one was mentioned on Planet PHP repeatedly, so I assume that it is fairly reputable (never actually used it though).
