I submitted my 485 on Feb 2008 and did the finger print on Mar 2008, now I want to get a RTD. Do I still need do finger print and pay $85?

No, you don't
You don't need to submit fingerprints to get a RTD. You don't have to do it again .

Read this info :
3. Biometric Services Requirement
If you are between age 14 through 79 and you are applying for a Refugee Travel Document or Re-entry Permit, you must be fingerprinted as part of USCIS biometric services requirements. After you have filed this application, USCIS will notify you in writing of the time and location where you must go to be fingerprinted. If necessary, USCIS may also take your photograph and signature. Failure to appear to be fingerprinted or for other biometric services may result in a denial of your application. All applicants for Re-entry Permit and/or Refugee Travel Documents between the ages of 14 through 79 are required to pay the additional $80 biometric fee. (See "What is the Filing Fee" on page eight).

I find this at USCIS website, it's a Q&A for National Stakeholder Meeting.
Found the Question 12:
Question: The USCIS recently announced changes in the filing procedures and fees for the filing of an I-131 (Refugee Travel Document). Asylees filing for a RTD must now submit an $80 biometric fee. Also, asylees who have a pending adjustment of status application (I-485) can submit their I-797 receipt showing the application is pending or they are currently filing the I-485 and do not have to pay the filing fee for the I-131. Please clarify whether asylees who have a pending I-485 (filed after July 30, 2007) still have to submit the $80 biometric fee and those who are concurrently filing the I-485 and the I-131 have to pay two biometrics fees.
Response: USCIS recently announced changes in the filing procedures and fees for the filing of an I-131, Refugee Travel Document (RTD). Asylees filing for a RTD must now submit an $80 biometric fee. However, if an asylee submits their I-797 receipt showing that they have pending I-485 application that was filed on or after 07/30/2007, then the applicant does not have to pay the filing fee or the biometric fee for the I-131. Thus, if the I-485 and I-131 are concurrently filed an additional biometric fee is not necessary for the I-131 application for an RTD.
So, I don't need pay BIO fee and filing fee?
