Dear Sirs: How do you print what is on the screen using Windows XP?
You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.
You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

Copying the Screen
Key Description
Prt Scn Copies the whole screen to the clipboard as a graphic. Use MS Paint to paste the image.
Depending on Prt Scn key settings on the Misc tab of a Dos program's properties, a Dos program can still print to printer with Prt Scn key.
Alt + Prt Scn Copies the active window to the clipboard as a graphic.

Print Scrn often doesn't function on many PC's depending on the
installation. There's a really neat (& small) programme called Purrint.
Download it, right click the cat icon and send it to your desktop. Click
that and it's activated. Then your Print Scrn button will work. Alt+Print
Scrn will give an image of the particular item that's showing on your
screen. You can then save it to wherever as a .bmp .jpg or .png.
