Is there a certain combination of keystrokes to use when you want to just print the screen? Thanks.

Just press the PrtScrn key for the entire screen or Alt-PrtScrn for just the actrive window. That copies things to the paste buffer. Then just paste or Ctrl-V in Word or Paint or any other program and then print out!
good Luck!

There should be a key on your keyboard labelled Prt Scr (Print Screen). If you click that, then you need to open something like word and click Paste or Control V to paste the screen print into the document. From there, you print as normal or save. (Control P to print, Control S to save).
There are also several print screen programs you can buy or try. The one I like the best is called SnagIt. Not expensive but works great.

Try pressing the Ctrl and Print Scrn keys at the same time.
Bring up a program like Paint and click Paste.
Then click Print.

In the MS-DOS day print screen really did print screen. Now it is more of a screen capture. When you hit print screen, open a pain program and then paste, or CTRL V, and the image will appear. Then you can print it.

To my knowedge there is no combination of keystrokes to get print screen to a printer.
But I found a website that explains about the Print Screen Key and how to use it to print a screenshot to the printer

Hope this helps

Not all windows applications support print screen as default Win 95/98 ME support this application as default setup for windows; XP depending who instaled it and what service pack you have turns it off (Dont know why ) If you cant manage to turn it back on try getting a screen capture program off the net.

The newer models have a print screen button on the keyboard...not sure about the old ones.

In Windows, hit Ctrl + Print Scrn. That will copy the image to the clipboard. You can paste it as a new image in any image-managing software.
