Print A Screen Image

You can capture and then print anything you have displayed on your comptuter's screen.


You may have a number of reasons for wanting to print an image of what is on your computer's screen. Whatever your reason may be, you can make an image of whatever you have pulled up on your computer's screen with just a few keystrokes. Once you have made the image, you can then place it in the software program of your choice. You can then add additional text next to the image of your computer's screen, or use any options in the program to edit the image.
