Yes.
Since you already have screenshot.png available as an image file,
there is no need to have LaTeX2HTML recreate an image for your
HTML pages; simply use the one that you have already.

The best way to acive this is to use a macro in your document source,
but have that macro expand differently, depending on the TeX engine
processing the document.

e.g.
your source should read something like:

A view of the screen is given below, in figure~\ref{screenA}.
In this one sees .....
.....

\begin{figure}
\screenshotA
\caption{A view of .....}
\label{screenA}
\end{figure}


In the preamble to your document, or in a separate input file,
use code like:

%begin{latexonly}
 \newcommand{\screenshotA}{\includegraphics{screenshot}}
%end{latexonly}
\begin{htmlonly}
 \newcommand{\screenshot}{%
  \htmladdimg[align=top,width=....,height=....,alt="...."]
  {../images/screenshot.png}}
\end{htmlonly}

Notice how the \htmladdimg command (from  \usepackage{html} ) allows  you
to specify all the meta-information about how to image is to be handled
in the HTML file, including alignment, WIDTH/HEIGHT and ALT-text attributes.
