What are you expecting?

Press the PRINT SCREEN button.

Then open a graphics viewer and position the pointer where you want the image.

Press <ctrl-v> to PASTE the image.

Manipulate, size, compress the image, etc. and SAVE to a file.

press Prt Screen it's then in Clp Board ( memory ) open
MSPaint and rt click and Paste, Then print.


Try this, It's a capture utility that you hit F6 to
engage, move your pointer to where you want to start, left
click and draw the rectangle to the size you wish to
capture ( from a pinhead to a full screen ) release the
key and it's saved as a .jpg to the folder of your choice.
Did I mention it's free.

Greetings --

Pressing the <PrtScn> key copies the entire display to the
clipboard. Pressing <ALT>+<PrtScn> copies only the active Window to
the clipboard. To view the screen capture, open a graphics program,
such as MS Paint, and press <CTRL>+V. This will paste the contents of
the clipboard (your screenshot) into the open file, and allow you to
view it or save it as a file for later use.

Back in the days of DOS, the PrintScrn key used to print the
screen. But in all versions of Windows, this works differently,
and the name of the key is now an anachronism.

To use the key, press it to capture an image of the entire
screen, or press alt-PrintScrn to capture an image of the active
window. Either one captures the image to the Windows clipboard.
Once it's in the clipboard you can paste (Ctrl-V) it into any
application that supports graphics (Windows Paint, other graphics
programs, even your favorite word processor). You can edit or add
to the image as you wish, then print it.

This ability to manipulate the image in a program before printing
it is an improvement over the original DOS method of just
printing it. But if you'd like that old facility back, there are
several third-party freeware/shareware programs that can do this.
