How can I do a print screen on both IE and Firefox?

Question

I want the full screen, including the browser tabs and toolbars, etc. Normally when I print, I just get the contents of the page that I have opened up in the browser, not what is at the top of the browser page. Thanks.

Answer 1

+ works for me on both

Short version:There's a key on your keyboard that will take a screen shot, then you put it into an image editor, save it and print it.

Long version: Print Screen key - between the keyboard (letters) and the keypad (numbers) there are arrows... if you go up from the arrow keys, there are Delete, Insert... keep going up and you'll find a key that says:
[Prt Scr]
If you hit that, whatever's on the screen is photographed by the computer and saved into your ram.

Open up Paint:
Click on Start, then Programs, then Accessories, then Paint (I think). Click on Edit, then Paste. Click on File, then Save As... and save it as a .PNG onto your desktop.

When you're ready to print the screen shots, remember to tell the printer to make them fit the page (it's part of the settings) otherwise the image will go off the page.

Or just take a screenshot. save as, then print em up.

In Microsoft Windows a screenshot of the entire monitor, complete with taskbar, can be copied to the system clipboard by pressing the Print screen key. Alternatively, pressing Alt + Print screen will copy just the active window to the clipboard. One can then paste the clipboard into a program such as MS Paint or Paint.NET to save it as an image file (for posting online, for instance), or paste it directly into a document. If saving as an image file, it is best to use a format which uses lossless compression (e.g. PNG) (or no compression, e.g. BMP). Use a format which supports 24-bit color if the screenshot contains many colors.
No download required.
