Continuing PA Bear's question and statement - If you don't here's help

http://www.seoconsultants.com/windows/print-screen/ The printscreen key

will only put the data into the clipboard. It needs some program to get it

to the printer.

 

And to make it save the window or part of a window there is a small good

FREE program that will take the print screen key and save the selected

option to a file that can be used in any other application that will take a

graphic file. I use ScreenHunter 5 free from

http://www.wisdom-soft.com/products/screenhunter_free.htm

 

Download, install and then set the particulars of the program to use the

PrintScn key as its trigger and the filename and location where you want the

file.

Pressing the Print Screen button copies the whole screen to the clipboard,

you then have to paste the contents an application and then print from

there. Alt-Print Screen copies the active window only.

Pressing the <PrtScn> key copies the entire display, including the

Desktop Wallpaper, to the clipboard. Pressing <ALT>+<PrtScn> copies

only the active Window to the clipboard (iow, into RAM). To view the

screen capture, open a graphics program, such as MS Paint, and press

<CTRL>+V. This will paste the contents of the clipboard (your

screenshot) into the open file, and allow you to view it or save it as a

file for later use.

Sure, it's called WordPad.

 

Press the PrintScreen key, open Wordpad, choose Edit, Paste. Send the

document to the printer.

 

If you want only the foremost window (there are some limits) instead of the

entire desktop, press alt+printscreen.

 

With this, you can put screen clips in most word processors.

Back in the days of DOS, the PrintScrn key used to print the screen.

But in all versions of Windows, this works differently, and the name

of the key is now an anachronism.

 

To use the key, press it to capture an image of the entire screen, or

press alt-PrintScrn to capture an image of the active window. Either

one captures the image to the Windows clipboard. Once it's in the

clipboard you can paste (Ctrl-V) it into any application that supports

graphics (Windows Paint, other graphics programs, even your favorite

word processor). You can edit or add to the image as you wish, then

print it.

 

This ability to manipulate the image in a program before printing it

is an improvement over the original DOS method of just printing it.

But if you'd like that old facility back, there are several

third-party freeware/shareware programs that can do this, such as

Not really, all you need is already in XP.

As I said, in the part of my message you snipped, "But if you'd like
