[Fixed] Print Screen Button On KeyBoard

CrazyKate · 01-31-2007

I have found some programs that will allow the use of the Print Screen button on the PC once again.

However, what I am looking for - is a program that will allow you to select just an area to be printed by highlighting the area & pressing the Print Screen button, then you know how that Print Options page pops up that allows you to print just the "Seclected Area".

The programs I have found so far - you either have to print the entire screen, no options, or you have to copy to another program (ex. PaintBrush), select area, then print.

Does anyone out there know of an easier program like the one I explained in my 2nd paragraph above?

Thank you in advance for any input anyone may have!!!!

There is a feature on Vista which lets you screenshot a selected area on your desktop using your mouse. I think its called Snippit. I dont know about any other OS though...

I know that if you press alt+prt screen, it will only print the ACTIVE window, not the entire screen. But I don't know of any that will allow you to cherry-pick certain areas of the screen to print. Would that work for you?

FIANLLY! I was hoping someone had an idea about that! Been looking around on my own and gotten nowhere. btw valis... welcome! I had read alot of when you came in and who you know... but was very late for me and hadn't added that in.
Anyway... 98Se here... so... Crazykate? Will those that you found work with this OS?

Thanks in advance.

thanks, Sir Trews, for the welcome! Actually, it may have been Wolfey that taught me that little trick......guy's got more knowledge than he lets on......

Ohhh I know that!! I watch very carefully the things that he says just for that reason! I don't think anyone will ever know all that he keeps in his head, altho I hope someone gets in there and prys it all out so it never gets lost!

btw valis.... that little trick of yours didn't work here. Maybe because of my KB? MS Ergo.. the 'print screen' button also has SysRq on it.
