How so??
If your screen is relatively low resolution (a mere 1024), it is easy that the file has a higher quality that can be noticed when the image is printed.
You're not making sense. A raster image (GIF, PNG, etc.) will render at its native resolution in a browser. Thus a screen capture will produce an identical image file. That may not be true for JPEG, but if you're using JPEG (or any lossy compression) for line drawings, you're already in trouble, since sharp edges produce aliasing even at fairly high quality levels. There's also an exception in Mozilla, which can fit large images to the screen, but when it does that, it indicates that it has done so by showing a distinct mouse pointer and can then be overridden by clicking.
