When you press it, it copies the screen to the clipboard. Go into "Paint" Program, usually found in Start Menu>Accessories and click Edit-Paste. Then File-Print, when you see what you wanted to print.

This key just makes a copy of what's on the screen. If you press this button, go into say Word document and select paste, it will paste it there, then you can print using the normal printing procedure.

Lol, you don't print with that key. What it does is it copies the screen and if you go into paint and press ctrl and v at the same time the image shows up, try it.

When you press that key, the computer takes a "picture" of what is on your screen and puts it on the pasteboard....to be able to print the picture, you need to open up WORD, or some such package, and then paste the picture into it....you will then be able to print what is on your screen.
Hope it helps!

Print Screen key is actually to take a screenshot of your whole screen :)
It is copied in the clipboard.
You can buy one of those keyboards with quick access keys.

Windows' defualt is to copy the current screen instead of printing it. If you open up an image program such as MSPaint then you can choose Edit, and then Paste, and the image should show up. You can then print it from there, or save it and keep the image.
