Q. I am wondering if you could invert an image in photoshop, make it say 5x7, black out your screen tape a piece of photo paper on there,turn the monitor on for a second or whatever and produce a developable print.
A. Yes. There is no reason whatsoever that this shouldn't work and produce a low resolution somewhat out of focus print given the correct exposure time and an environment that prevents the paper from being significantly fogged during the process.
A few things to keep in mind. There is a piece of plastic between the actual displayed pixel on the monitor and the piece of paper you are applying. This will mean that the light will diffuse and scatter somewhat before it reaches the paper thus reducing the clarity of the print. Also your pixel count per square inch on your monitor will be low in comparison to what is considered acceptable in a high quality print. This will depend on your monitor but even the very best monitors do not come near the 240 dpi that is required for a high quality print. Lastly the monitor will not have the orange mask that light sensitive photographic paper needs to produce a proper color image. This could likely be emulated though by experimenting with different degrees of orange being added to the inverted image.
Regardless...cool idea and worth giving it a try. With the right image it might distress it in such a way it might be desirable in some respects.

Is there a way I can keep my LCD Monitor from strectching everything?
Q. I just bought a new monitor and it is stretching everything. I use Photoshop a lot and everything looks funny. Does anyone know a way I can make this not happen?
A. Set your resolution to the native resolution of the monitor. This is usually the highest allowed resolution under the display preferences.
The only reason to use a lower resolution than native is if you have problems seeing things.
