Take a pic, with a good digital camera. You'd also need colour scales, which allow you (or the studio who prints the picture) to adjust to the exact palette of your painting.
Make the pic in goo light, but not in the sun, and mind shadows!

The giclee answers are the best - but a cheap alternative could be to make a lite tracing of the painting and then convert that into a paper painting which is much easier to then convert via computer into a print - the quality is not quite as good but it does give you opportunity to adjust or change things according to you whims

Some of my oil paintings have been made into prints. I have a local printer who takes the painting and he can scan it with whatever kind of printing machinery he has, he makes a "master print" then prints copies from that.
His scan work is really good but it does cost quite a bit for the "master" to be done. Cost varies with size, and the more prints I order reduces the individual cost.

Use digital technology. Set up your painting so it won't move, get a very good digital camera and set it up on a tripod, use a good photographer with experience in these things to take a few shots, upload it into a computer, bring it to a printer and get it printed out.
Alternatively, you could use non-digital photography and get a slide made of the picture, then scan the slide using a slide/negative scanner and upload it into a computer and print it from this.

The best. most accurate but very expensive is called, "giclee", , there are hundreds of places that do this, some idea of cost is, first print about 130$ then varys on how many copy's you want 30$ and up...but don't go by my prices.. I haven't checked them all out...

I use the giclee process but I have to take the piece to a professional photographer and have them make a computer CD ROM of the painting...I also have 8x 10's made and have it made into a color transparency
