I have a system that I use for training materials.  It's a DocBook
<article> with slides in certain sections.  The printed handouts are done
with the standard print stylesheets, skipping the slides; the slides are
done with a different stylsheet, as are any sample files (extracted via an
added attribute on <programlisting>s).  The system could be tweaked pretty
easily to include the slides in the printed output, though it would be a
little bit of work since most of that formatting is handled by CSS.

It's still pretty preliminary, but I'd be willing to share it with those
who are interested.
