You can do this with a macro (I don't think there is any other way), but
it will only work in the full version of PowerPoint, not the Viewer:

Sub PrintCurSlide()
Dim slideNum as Long

slideNum = ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Slide.SlideIndex
ActivePresentation.PrintOptions.OutputType = ppPrintOutputSlides
ActivePresentation.PrintOut From:=slideNum, To:=slideNum
End Sub

Set the action settings of the picture to run this macro.
