But you aren't "capturing" when you print - "capture" really only works as an adjective when taking something in (scan, fax-in, email-in) while "imaging" covers anything image-related.
I agree with Glen that "imaging" is an unfortunately broad term, however we haven't come up with a suitable replacement word that is limited to printing, facsimile, scanning, copying, transform, etc. in multifunction devices.
