On some set-ups the Print Scrn doesn't work. Download this free mini helper
called "Purrint" - it'll put a black cat icon on your screen. Right click
it and it will appear on your taskbar. Then the Print Scrn button will
work.

My PrintScrn never worked no matter what buttons I pressed along with it.
Now it does thanks to "Purrint". There was an article about it in PC World
