I don't know of any ready-made way to do it, but this might be useful
if you know python.

Package: python-chm

Description: Python binding for CHMLIB
 PyCHM is a package that provides python binding for Jed Wing's CHMLIB
library. 
 
 The chm package contains four modules, namely chm.chm, chm.chmlib,
chm.extra and chm._chmlib, which provide access to the API implemented
by the C library chmlib and some
 additional classes and functions. They are used to access MS-ITSS
encoded files - Compressed Html Help files (.chm).

chmlib can handle chm files:
~$ apt-get install chmlib-bin
~$ man extract_chmLib 
 extracts a chm file into a directory

xchm uses chmlib, so try to print from xchm:
xchm - print to pdf

I hope that helps.

but:
grave bugs of chmlib (- 0.35-6) done
 #327431 - chmlib: new upstream version 0.36 fixes major security 
problems

kind regards
