Print Faces info on contact Sheets

Is there a way to incorporate Faces tags into a contact sheet?

No

Additionally, I'd like to print the the pictures arranged in rows with lines off to the side, like Power Point or Keynote handouts, for writing notes (names, places, dates, etc). The picture data (title, file name, date, Faces tags, etc) from iPhoto could print on the first line(s).

There is no format like this included with iPhoto - you could export the photos and import them into powerpoint (or any third party program of your choice) and use it

But in that case, iPhoto will export the photos in full size not cropped to the people's faces.
Actually this is an interesting feature, to be able to export photos of only the peoples' faces and not the whole picture. And not only for a contact sheet! This could also be useful for creating a funny album of someone's faces for example, don't you think?

Actually is the feature already there but I can't find it, or is it not?

There is no such feature. You will need to crop those pics yourself.

As previously noted that feature does not exist - and note that the "face" thumbnails are extremely small suitable only for small display on a monitor - they would not be suitable for printing at a usable size

Try finding a small company that already has a few Mac OS X applications (preferably graphics related). Contact them if they could build a little app that does this. iPhoto stores the coordinates of all faces in face.db, they are linked with the picture's filename with an identification number that can also be found in iPhotoMain.db; both are sqlite3 databases.

Any Cocoa developer worth its salt should be able to whip up something where you can drop an image and it cuts out the faces at maximum resolution. I'm not very acquainted with Mac development or else would even do it myself.

You could add a keyword for each face with the name and then in the Contact sheet preferences select Keyword instead of File name - or both. That way each photo would have the person's name under the photo.
