printscreen

[Bill H.]

No laughing...

A client has a couple of DOS programs that need to run (no windows
equivalent). No problem there, but in the past (win98) he could hit the
alt-prntscrn key and the screen image would go to his attached printer.

How to do the same thing with winxp media center ed? Also, the DOS program
has a blue background, and when I use printscreen and try to print via
paintbrush, the background prints out on the laser printer, a waste of toner
and time. Need to have the background NOT print.

Oh, his main printer is a dot matrix (uses multi-part forms), and doing a
print screen on that with the background printing is a real bummer.

Thx.

Dear Bill,

A client has a couple of DOS programs that need to run (no windows
equivalent). No problem there, but in the past (win98) he could hit the
alt-prntscrn key and the screen image would go to his attached printer.

How to do the same thing with winxp media center ed? Also, the DOS
program
has a blue background, and when I use printscreen and try to print via
paintbrush, the background prints out on the laser printer, a waste of
toner
and time. Need to have the background NOT print.

try to search download.com for a specific utility. I think you should find
something there.

Alternatively, by clicking the "Command Prompt" icon in the top-left corner,
you can select the text in the window. By pasting it in Notepad instead of
using paintbrush you can print that text in B&W (even in the dot-matrix).

Ah, I didn't think about that copy and paste method.

Nice!
