Print Screen in DOS

Guest

I know that this might be a stupid question, but can I utilize the Print Screen button from a DOS application. I am running Windows 2000 and need to do a direct print to the printer. The users of the computers are not computer litterate and the more commands, ie: prtscr, open paint, paste, print, is to much for them to have to do. So don't give me that stupid response "Open Paint or Word". Just tell me is it possible to hit print screen and it go directly to the printer. By the way iItried looking in the properties of my dos shortcut to see if there was a way...nope there is not a Misc tab.

Only way is to install some 3rd party software to redirect it in the
background to the printer instead of the clipboard. you should get some
hits searching for "printscreen" at www.google.com
