The Print Screen key, is often abreviated as Print Scrn.
The sole function of this key is to take a snapshot or picture of your
computer screen and copy it to the clipboard.
Alt + Print Scrn
[[Will take a screenshot of the currently selected window, not the entire
screen like the normal screenshot function. This allows you to target that
specific window that you have open and nothing else. No more cropping those
screenshots to grab the content you were after!]]
You have to paste the image in to Paint, Wordpad, Word or some other program
that will handle images.
It does not print directly (that was for old IBM machines with specific
printer control), but puts a copy in the clipboard - then load any
graphic program (even Paint) and Paste as a new image
Well, now dont i just feel stupid...i must have pressed that button so many
times....if the clipboard thing would have popped up to say something was put
there, it would have been better. thanks for writing that answer...i think i
would have gone crazy trying to find out why it wasn't printing...lol
