One prints the contents of a Shell window the same as an editor or output window. Select File and then Print Window and then OK. Or use the shortcut key, which on Windows, at least, is Control-P. I verified that this works on Windows with 2.7.13 and 3.6.1.

One can also save Shell content with File, Save As and then edit the result. Then print if one wants a paper copy.

https://bugs.python.org/issue11838 is about making it easier to get running code from a shell log. One problem with saving just the user input is that it loses the bug information in tracebacks.
