    How can I get a Print Screen on Mac?

    There is no direct way to print the screen in OS X.
    What you can do -
    Take a screenshot of the screen. Press Command-Shift-3 and a picture of the screen's contents will be taken, then placed as a type .png image file on the Desktop. You can then open that image in Preview by double-clicking the image file, and print it from Preview.
    Other screenshot commands -
    Command-Shift-4 changes the cursor to a crosshair. Drag that to enclose just the part of the screen that you want to capture, and release. The image file created will include only the part of the screen selected.
    Command-Shift-4 followed by pressing the Spacebar will change the cursor to a glyph of a camera. Click this in a specific window, such as a doc window, pulldown or popup menu, etc., and just that window will be included in the screensot.
    Command-Shift-Control-3 and Command-Shift-Control-4 will take their respective screenshots but place the result on the Clipboard rather than generating an image file on the Desktop. This image on the clipboard can then be pasted into a document of your choice.

    Rjanyk, welcome to the forum.
    What is the make/model of the printer that you are using?  I presume that it is an HP printer.

  • Mac hardware: How do i print screen on a PC with a Mac Keyboard??

    I have a Apple Mac Pro, but when I'm booted directly into Windows Vista (using Boot Camp) how do I do a Print Screen?
    The Apple Keyboard is missing the "Print Screen", "Scroll Lock", and "Pause/Break" keys that a normal PC Keyboard has.
    I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate x64, and apparently this issue has NEVER been addressed or fixed by Apple, because I've seen posts dating back over 4 1/2 years on this same issue/problem, and I've seen fixes for Windows XP, but nothing for Vista. I found this article addressing the issue:
    http://forums.cnet.com/5208-7592_102-0.html?forumID=25&threadID=12105&messageID= 137974
    I did find this software application, but it only works on Windows XP (not Vista):
    http://www.dieselstation.com/software/
    Is there any Easy way to Map and allow the use of Apple keyboards in Windows Vista?
    AppleKeys allows the use of Apple keyboards on a Windows machine. It properly emulates the F13 - F15 keys to "print screen, scroll lock, and pause/break" accordingly.
    Why hasn't Apple just added a "Keyboard Emulator" in the Boot Camp client that gets installed Vista? I'm currently running Boot Camp client version 2.1, why doesn't Apple just add a keyboard emulator/keyboard mapper inside the Boot Camp version 2.1 client?
    This way the F13-F15 keys will automatically emulate the "print screen, scroll lock, and pause/break" keys properly like on a PC keyboard.
    I've searched everything, and this has turned into such a time consume and HEADACHE of a project, and I'm really disappointed that Apple has "dropped the ball" on something so simple.
    If a third party person, had to create the "Apple Keys" program (to run under Windows XP) you'd think that this is a problem, and that Apple would finally address this problem?
    Could someone from Apple, please take the time and fix this? At least copy, or make something similar to the "Apple Keys" program that automatically install inside the Boot Camp client, so when a person installs Windows Vista, and the Boot Camp client installs inside Windows Vista it will automatically run a keyboard emulator (similar to Apple Keys) so that you can properly use the F13-F15 keys on the Apple Keyboard as "Print Screen", "Scroll Lock" and "Pause/Break".
    Could Apple do this, and push out a Boot Camp Version 2.2 update with this feature added to Boot Camp? I would greatly appreciate it, as would most of the other Windows Vista users I'm sure.
    Apple Keys does not work for Windows Vista, only Windows XP and I've been unable to find an alternative Fix, and I wish that Apple developers would just get off their tail and finally FIX this problem!
    C'mon guys, you've known about this 4 1/2+ years, and why does it take some third-party person to create an application like "Apple Keys" just to fix the issue?
    Well the author of that program is no longer available, the website is gone, and I've been unable to find a way to contact him (or ask him to update his program for Windows Vista), but all these headaches shouldn't be necessary. All this stuff should just "WORK" right out of the box, and Apple developers really should have thought of this, and just added something this simple to Boot Camp plugin/client, that way when the Boot Camp 2.1 installs inside of Windows Vista, it will install the Apple Keyboard Emulator which will automatically emulate the PC keyboard, and emulate the F13-F15 keys as "Print Screen, Scroll Lock, Pause/Break". The normal PC keyboard doesn't even have a "F13-F15 keys" and only goes up to F12, so you would think that Apple could just do something SIMPLE like emulate the keys on the PC Keyboard, and just use the F13-F15 keys as the "Print Screen, Scroll Lock, and Pause/Break" keys.
    I would greatly appreciate it if a Apple Developer could begin working on this, and just push it out as a Boot Camp Version 2.2 update. So that it will fix these problems for all Apple/Windows Boot Camp users running Vista.
    Thank-you!

    AppleKeys allows the use of Apple keyboards on a Windows machine. It properly emulates the F13 - F15 keys to "print screen, scroll lock, and pause/break" accordingly. Unfortunately AppleKeys only works on Windows XP and earlier, and it has been discontinued by the author.
    Why hasn't something as simple as this been addressed or FIXED by Apple?
    Why hasn't Apple just added a simple "Keyboard Emulator" (identical to AppleKeys) inside the Boot Camp client that automatically gets installed on Vista or Windows XP? I'm currently running Boot Camp client version 2.1 in Vista Ultimate x64, why doesn't Apple just add a keyboard emulator/keyboard mapper inside the Boot Camp version 2.1 client? So that the Apple Keyboard properly emulates the F13 - F15 keys to "print screen, scroll lock, and pause/break" automatically when the Boot Camp client is installed in Vista?
    Are the Apple Developers "sleeping on the job"? Surely something SO SIMPLE wouldn't be hard to add or fix. VMWare Tools guys seem to do a great job, I would think that Apple would begin working on a fix for this, and finally address the issue and fix this. Give us a client application that we can install that will work on Windows XP and Windows Vista that will allow our Apple Keyboards to map/emulate a Windows PC Keyboard inside Windows XP or Windows Vista automatically. This could easily be done when Vista installs Boot Camp client (automatically) inside of Vista, Apple could then install a PC Keyboard emulator to support the Apple Keyboard that would map/emulate the F13-F15 keys on a Apple keyboard to the standard "Print Screen, Scroll Lock, and Pause/Break" keys on a PC Keyboard.
    C'mon Apple, please just fix this problem and make life a little easier on your users. I just bought a Mac Pro, and I'm a new Apple Mac user and I'm just really disappointed that something so simple still hasn't been addressed or FIXED by Apple. It should be automatic, and I shouldn't have to hunt and search the internet trying to find a solution, just to fix something so simple.
    Apple Developers really dropped the ball here, and I would like to see them create an Apple Keyboard Client that will automatically be installed in Windows XP or Windows Vista that will properly map/emulate the PC Keyboard, so that the F13-F15 keys can be properly used as "Print Screen, Scroll Lock, Pause/Break".
    Thank-you, and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix this issue!

  • "Print Screen" for MAC

    Hey there I am still trying to swap over from windows. Quick and easy question for someone. On my PC i used the "print screen" button a lot. Taking a snap shot of what is on your screen. Is there a way to accomplish that same feature with a Mac, If so How?
    Cheers!

    Command-shift-4 lets you select what portion of the screen to capture.
    Note that either keystroke (-3 and -4) creates an image file that is, by default, a .png file saved to your desktop as "Picture 1" (2, 3, 4 and so on, however many you take). There are some ways to change those defaults; the easier ways are through tools like Deeper or Onyx (search Apple downloads, versiontracker.com, or macupdate.com to find them).

  • How To Do Print Screen

    I would like to know if i have to take the print screen of the items of the docs, how to do that?
    Regards
    Vikram

    Command-Shift-3 saves a picture of the entire screen to your desktop.
    But if you go into the Mac Help file and search for "print screen" you will find an article "Shortcuts for taking pictures of the screen" that will have more shortcuts for putting the screen picture on the Clipboard and taking a picture of one window or a region. You can do it many ways.

  • How to use Print Screen function (part deux)?

    The previous thread for the Print Screen function has been marked as read only, and won't allow any replies. I tried all of the suggestions (PrtScr, CTRL + C + PrtScr, etc.) and then CTRL V into MS Paint, but Print Screen still doesn't work on my machine.
    I'm running Win 7 on a HP Pavilion laptop cv7-6b32us. I suspect there's a switch somewhere in Win 7 or HP that allows the key to be turned off. I know of this because my previous employer did not want anyone doing print screens due to HIPAA violations. Thus, the functionality was turned off. Those of us in I.T. were provided a third-party software that aloowed us to do the same function, but it was not released to the physicians or nursing staff. If I have to, I'll go out and buy the software. I really need this functionality for a class I'm taking.
    Thanks!

  • How to use Print Screen function?

    I've seen various descriptions of how to use the print screen function.
    It would be nice to actually be told one that works.  None have worked for me.
    [Fn] and Prt SCr does not work.
    Ctrl and Prt SCr does not work.
    Ctrl, Alt, and Prt SCr does not work.
    [Fn], Ctrl, and Prt SCr does not work.
    If anyone knows the correct method of activating the print screen function that would be good.
    From the looks of things HP has a big problem with this function.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    On my notebook, the Insert key and the prt sc key are the same key, but the prt sc has a ring, around it, if you know what I mean.
    On the bottom left of my keyboard is a key that has fn with a ring around it, or I guess you could say it is in a little box.  By the way, there are a number of keys that have two functions on them, and to activate the second function, you must press the fn key at the same time as the desired function on the key.  In this case press the  fn key and  the prt scr key, and that puts an image of the screen on the clip board and then it can be pasted into Word or where ever.
    Here is somethine else you might like, if you can get it to work as I described above.
    To print only the active window, and not the entire desktop or the entire screen, you can do that by pressing the alt and prt sc at the same time.  Then it only captures to the clip board the window, and not the entire desktop. Oh, and in the scenario with the fn key, it has to be pressed also, so actually it's pressing the fn and alt and print screen all at once.
    I just performed each of the instructions above, and they worked well on my EliteBook 8440. 
    Hopefully you have the same experience,

    Where did you get that information from? It's not correct... unless you're writing about MS-DOS xD
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Print_screen
    Sorry, I don't have any proof to show you but it is from my experience. You may have a different experience but let's not debate on who's right or wrong since the issue is not which one is right or which one is wrong. Let's just leave that decision to the OP to decide. That is you do yours and I'll do mine.

  • How do i print from my mac book using printer connected to my Imac

    I am trying to print from my Mac book by using the printer connected to my Imac however i keep getting a notice which says
    Authentication required.what am i missing? I set them up to share printing but something is wrong

    Before trying to figure out if I can help or not, a bit more specific information is needed:
    1. You list an iMac G5 in your profile - is that the iMac you are using? In that case, you'd get more knowledgeable answers in the G5 forums (this is an Intel iMac forum). If you have an Intel, please give more details (model, etc).
    2. What model/make printer? Does it have wireless capabilities?
    3. What model/make router? Or are you simply trying to use the built in Airport from your iMac? In that case, do you have printer sharing enabled on both machines? If so, did you create a network? For detailed info on that, use the Help Menu in Finder and type in Network - one of the subjects available will be "creating a computer-to-computer network". It contains instructions on how to create it including a password (authentication).
    You might also try to use the search function on this forum and type in "printer sharing". There are many threads, some of which might be useful to you.

    Hello @COOP1950 and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I'd be happy to lend a hand, I just need to ask a few questions to get a bit more information
    1. Which version of Mac OS X is on your computer?
    2. How is the printer connected to the Mac?
    3. Do you have the HP software installed (if it's available for your printer/operating system)?
    4. What program are you trying to print from? Do you get the same result from all programs?
    With that information I'll be able to have a deeper look into things for you!

    Please help. I am new to the Toshiba. My print screen key doesn't do anything and I need to use it every day.
    Thanks, Brenda

    Hi
    Pressing PRTSC button copies the screen shot of the display in the Systray.
    Then you can use the CTRL + V key combiantion to past this printscreen in Word or other image editig software.
    Does it work for you?
    How the PRTSC is marked on the button? Is it marked grey?
    If yes, then this means that you will need to press FN + PRTSC to print the screen

  • How to create print sharing for Mac and PC computers

    Hello~ I hope someone can answer these questions... Thanks!
    We are a small design office. We have trouble printing recently after we upgrade our Mac OSX v10.4.
    We have:
    2 PC computers (Window XP Home Edition)
    1 Power Mac G4
    1 Power Mac G5
    1 PowerBook G4
    1 Epson Stylus Pro 4000 large format printer
    1 hp laserjet 3030 fax/copier/printer
    We used to transfer the PC files to the server and print from Mac. We were able to print with 'shared printer' if one Mac computer is connected to the printer. After we upgraded 1 Power Mac G4 to OSX v10.4, we can no longer use the 'shared printer' for the other Mac computers. We cannot find the printer under 'shared printer' in the Adobe application, such as Illustrator and Photoshop.
    We would like to set up the print sharing system that both Mac and PC computers can send files to the prints without putting files to the server or switching the printers. Can anyone help please? Many thanks!
    Power Mac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    There are a couple of disadvantages with formatting a
    disk as FAT32. Firstly, there is a limit on the file
    size for FAT32. I think it like 2 GB so if you
    capturing video the results will probably not fit
    into this file limit. Secondly FAT32 will not be
    bootable. I alway clone my system to a backup disk as
    bootable. That way if anything goes wrong with my
    system, I can just boot from my backup disk and fix
    it.
    The problem with doing this though is that the drive will not be usable with Windows (which was in the original posting) unless you use the third party MacDrive software on the PC.

  • How to disable print screen by group policy?

    I tried with below steps however its not working. Please assist me on this?.
    Step one:  Create a Reg_binary entry using the info below:
    (reg file: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
    “Scancode Map”=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,00,00,2a,e0,00,00,37,e0,\
    00,00,54,00,00,00,00,00)
    Step two: Link all OU sites to this new GPO policy
    Do one of the following:
    1. To link to a domain or an organizational unit, open Active Directory Users and Computers.
    2. In the console tree, right-click the site, domain, or organizational unit to which you want the Group Policy object to be linked.
    3. Click Properties, and then click the Group
    Policy tab.
    4. To add the Group Policy object to the Group Policy Object Links list, click Add. This opens the Add
    a Group Policy Object Link dialog box.
    5. Click the All tab, click the Group Policy object that you want, and then click OK.
    6. In the properties dialog box for the site, domain, or organizational unit, click OK.

    Hi Dinesh,
    To disable print screen, we can create a .reg file containing:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
    "Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,00,00,2a,e0,00,00,37,e0,\
     00,00,54,00,00,00,00,00
    Then, we can apply the registry setting through a startup script via group policy, or if our domain controllers is Windows Server 2008 or above, we can utilize Group Policy
    Preferences Registry extension to deploy the registry setting.
    Regarding this point, the following thread can be referred to for more information.
