With a bit of modification it should be possible via mame's artwork system. Most webcams/webcam software have a function that allows the camera image to save to a jpg/gif every little bit (usually around 10-15 fps) The games would need an artwork layer that uses an image and an open (unzipped) artwork file. Either the individual driver would have to be modified or the artwork system itself so that the image used in the artwork file gets reloaded constantly. You setup your webcam to save to the artwork folder and you are good to go!
Like you said, F12 would take care of any printouts and if you REALLY wanted to print the image in-game some middleware software could be written to print the saved image when a certain keypress is detected... no need to add direct printing support to mame.
