To my knowledge, the GM API and the OL API over top of it do not expose
enough information to fetch the URLs. GM changes their naming scheme now
and then, so any such scheme to build an URL would only work for a short
time.
Also, though I'm not a lawyer: I know that their Terms of Use prohibits
computerized collection and storage of the tiles, and though printing
seems in good faith it also seems to constitute a violation of the TOU.
