In Legacy's Relationship Calculator you do get a list of the "steps" between ancestor A and descendant D. Makes 'em easy to find. Haven't tried tagging/printing, but combined with the other advice, this might be the easiest way.

If you have even an old version of FTM around, you could make a gedcom file of your ever-so-great grandparents' descendants for as many generations as you need, bring it up in FTM and use it's Outline Descendant Tree feature. In it is the option of choosing a direct line to which ever single descendant you favor. I still prefer Legacy in most uses, but I do wish they'd ad the direct line feature.
