on wn2000/xp, old fashioned print-screen key works with command.com programs
[it is explained on ms kb, for 16bit apps, how to deselect this key on
shortuct's property pane], but what with cmd.exe and 32bit apps?
is there any way to make print-screen key to work with these apps [to send
screen image directly to printer-lpt]?

thnx.

Third-party capture tools may be capable...and since some intercept
the PrntScrn key...and some can send data to a file or printer
automatically...

Natively I know of no way to cause the PrntScrn key to automatically
print the captured data (either image or text).
