I would like to prevent people from saving images from a website. I know there are scripts that stop a "right click/save", but those don't really work because they could simply "left click/hold" and drag that image to the browsers address bar where it will be display in a new window allowing visitors to save it from there. And I assume that if someone can't figure it out they would do a print screen and then crop the image in a photo editor.
So does anyone know a script to disable a "print screen"?

Yes I'm talking about the print screen button on the keybpard.
It's not a local printer problem, it's on the web e.g. this page.

the_man_behind_the_desk:
do you have the script to clear the clipboard every 100 miliseconds?
and what other methods are there to copy an image from a website?

if you want to stop printscreen function to be used with your website you can use a javascript function to clear the clipboard every 100 miliseconds. this will prevent printscreen and paste content into a photo editor software.
i hope that's helping you (although there are other methods to copy an image from a website)
good luck

It is impossible to do with a script, even with an activeX control embedded to the site which transfers the picture encrypted (against packet sniffers) and display it in its own control (there are flash (ActiveX) decompilers around). Even if you code a kernel mode filter driver to filter the print screen key out of keyboard buffer or physically rip the key out of the keyboard; a very simple code can acquire the desktop image.

no, its a keyboard function (prt scr) key
best way is to remove the printer from "public" computers

reassign the key, so "print screen" is disabled
