I don't think that's really within the scope of what screen does. The
standard way to do this, though, is to do a screenshot of the terminal
window within which screen is running. Are you unable to do this?

For color textfiles, there's always the "script" command; however,
catting the results of that will be highly terminal-dependent, and
unless you use timings, will contain all of the text and sequences from
before the final state of the screen, but will only display the final
state of the screen.
