Dear All
When I used dir > prn on Windows XP its working fine on
Epson dotmatrix printer but from FOXPRO DOS Program
PrintScreen key not working. When press <PRINTSCREEN) key
No beep...no error. Before on Win9x it was working fine.
We have new Compaq (HP Invent) PC and we stuck with this
problem. Any solution? FYI the DOS base program prints
well to the LPT1 on dotmatrix printer but just
<PRINTSCREEN> key not working.
Regards

Printscreen send a copy of the screen to the clipboard. You must then open
a graphics program, paste in that copy to a new image and print the image.

Thanks Cari
I paste the Text in Notepad and its working fine but it
has many steps. Our non-technical (lazy) users dont want
this. They want just press <PRINTSCREEN> and job gets done
(print the text of the fullscreen to the LPT1 Epson
dotmatrix printer).
Any solution...most welcome.
Regards
Notty

key <PRINTSCREEN> not doing its job.
