anyone know a way to get active window sent directly to printer in one
keystroke?

even help to write a batch file to do same.

thanx
 
With XP, when ever you press the "Print Scrn" button, XP takes a copy of the
current active Windows and places it into the Clip book. Then, you can use
any graphic application, or Word, and "paste" this screen into a document.
Then you can print this document.

If you still want a direct print, you need to install a "Print Screen" utility.

There's no way to do it in a single keystroke, but my standard post on using
PrtScrn follows. PrintKey2000 comes pretty close to what you want.

*************************

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, such as PrintKey2000 at

No, not quite. PrintScrn copies the entire desktop into the clipboard. It's
*Alt*-PrtScrn that copies just the active window.
 
The program on first link is great. It lets you customize everything.
