No Print Screen in Gnome

I installed Gnome on Arch64 and noticed when I attempted to take a screenshot which normally I did in Ubuntu, nothing happened. I did not install gnome-extra but simply gnome so I was wondering if anyone can tell me what I am missing to get the 'printscreen' key to take a screenshot on my new Arch64 system and Gnome 2.24.
Thanks so much!

Thanks all!

Gnome 3.4.1 Print Screen won't take screenshots.

I've updated to Gnome 3.4, and now the Print Screen key doesn't work.
If I press the key, the desktop blanks and I hear the shutter sound, but the screenshot dialog won't show up.
If I open the Screenshot tool, and press Take Screenshot, it blanks and plays the shutter sound, and the dialog appears.
So far, I can save the screenshot to the clipboard using Ctrl + Print
Any help?

Is there a PRINT SCREEN option on a MacBook Pro running OS LION

Is there a PRINT SCREEN option on a Mac book Pro 17" running on OS LION/ Sometimes I want to print what I see on the screern in a PDF file that does not have page numbers. Guesws work at best...wasted ink and paper if not the correct page

Your best bet is to take in and have it looked over the counter. There is no charge for the Genius bar to assess
the problem.
Either the screen / cable / connection / or GPU.
Not much else you can do.

Print Screen Opens on Page Immediately - How do I stop it?

Hi,
First I'd like to thank blarman74 and Andy because I worked off of the information on this thread:
Autoprint Print Friendly Page
Autoprint Print-Friendly Page
I created a Button: URL call to javascript:PrintPopup()
I put this code in the report's HTML Header:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function PrintPopup () {
var url;
url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:2004:&SESSION.::::::YES';
w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=900,height=1000");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
</script>
And in the report's Region Footer I put this code:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.print();
</script>
Now, here is the problem. When I first open page 2004, the print screen opens immediately. I have to close it before I can see page 2004. Then I click the button with the URL call and the printer friendly page opens with the print screen on top. This part is good. That works beautifully.
How do I stop the print screen from opening when I first open page 2004? I figure there is some setting I am missing or perhaps a piece of code somewhere.
Thanks,
Maggie

You could put the winpopup code in the footer of the printerfriendly template.
#FORM_CLOSE#</body>
</html>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.print();
</script>
I then have a navigation bar which has:
target type: A page in this application
&APP_PAGE_ID.
And printer friendly check box checked.
You can then print the current page from the navigation bar.
I don't use a button, but essentially you just want your action to be performed when the button is submitted.

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 Function Doesn't Work

I just purchased a new 15.4" Pavilion laptop (DV5-1235dx) and cannot get the Print Screen function to work. I've tried everything. One source tells me to hit ALT and PRTSC at the same time. Another HP help suggestion says to hit the FN and PRTSC keys. I get no copy/paste function whatsoever. I also tried the shift key and PRTSC and it was no dice on that either. On my laptop...the PRTSC and INSERT key share the same key.
A routine function like this should not be this difficult.
Anybody out there got a suggestion or two about what to try. HP Support has been, frankly, awful.

Below find two possible answers to your issue on Print Screen. I hope one or both of these help.
1. Print Screen
2. Snip
Print Screen:
Which keys one uses to get a screen print does depend on the OS (eg. Vista or Windows 7) and the keyboard hardware.
Example: HDX 18T requires a simple keystroke (PrtScn) for the Active Window and Alt - PrtScn for the Entire Window.
In the Help file for same is noted the following. See Below.
It is somewhat rude that it's not the same for everyone - it is not unknown to be the case.
Open your help files and look up "print screen" - ask if you need assistance to get to "Help".
Below find a link to the manuals that I believe are for your laptop / Notebook. Your answser may be there if you cannot find it on your system's own help files.
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManual&lang=en...
Help file from an HDX 18T:
Snip:
Windows 7 has a "snip" command that one can use to grab any bit of the screen and make it into a .png file. It's quick, easy, and fast. Additionally, simple annotations can be added with a "pen" of different colors (circles, and such) to mark the picture as desired. Brilliant!. Vista may have this command as well.
Print the .png file if you need it on paper, embed it in Word, email, whatever...
Help file on Snip (shown as a "snip png file):
Good Luck!

Duplexer no longer an option in print screen - hp officejet pro 8100

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8100 that came with a duplexer. Up until today, the duplexer has worked. I don't technically know that it's not working. But when I open up the print screen in open office, adobe, or any other program, it no longer gives me the option to print double sided. I have no idea what to do and there are no tutorials that explain how to correct this. Any help is appreciated.
Found out after trying to reinstall the printer software that because my OS updated to 8.1 from Windows 7, my printer is no longer compatible with my computer. Is that ridiculous or what? I messaged HP, though I have no warranty so I'm sure they'll deny any product support. That's okay, if need be I'll take my business elsewhere. I shouldn't have to pay for support on a product that they made obsolete on purpose. Businesses used to be all about a quality product. Oh how the times have changed. This is one expensive paper weight.

How to Print Screen as a File on MacBook Pro Using Bootcamp 5.0 on Windows 8.1

I know print screen on a MBP is Shift + Fn + F11, but I want to print screen as a file. I tried Shift + Fn + F11 + Command but it doesn't work. Does Bootcamp support this feature?

In Windows, you can use a third-party application or a good solution would be to use the On-Screen keyboard included in Windows. That keyboard has got the Imp Pant key, that allows you to copy a screenshot of the whole display.
Then, open Paint and press Control and V keys to paste the screenshot. Finally, close Paint and save the screenshot as a file.
Note that third-party applications may offer you a faster way of doing that

Page up and down in a mailbox, the Clear key and Print Screen

I have an Apple Pro keyboard ( the one with a numeric keypad on the right side) for an iMac and a wireless mouse. Using the keyboard is VERY confusing. There are many documents and lots of pages on the different key combinations to use for different functions but I could not find one clear document that explains what certain keys do and/or show how to accomplish certain functions... I am a a very frustrated new Apple (formerly Windows) user astonished that I company that is supposedly delivering user friendly, easy to use products provides a keyboard that one cannot figure out.
1. Page Up and Down in Mail
I have some imported mailboxes with a few hundred Emails which I have to mark "read". I could use the Page Down functionality to quickly highlight all messages in a mailbox but could not locate anything that actually works. Apple's document at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5636?viewlocale=en_US indicates that pressing 9 (with Num Lock off) provides Page Down. Num Lock appears to be the Clear key. When I tried to press Clear it deleted messages and no combination worked with 9 ...
I tried all other suggestions from other discussions but nothing worked.
2. The Clear key
I'd appreciate an explanation of what this key is really supposed to do in different applications.
3. Print Screen
Apple's documentation tells me that on my specific keyboard I should use F14 to accomplish this. This doesn't work. It appears that one has to press 3 keys (shift-command-3) to accomplish this. What happened to the one key Prt-Scr key? Is there a key (or can one assign this function to an unused key) to make life a little less "sophisticated"? Is there a way to know which keys are not assigned to any function?
A pointer to an up-to-date document (which provides info that actually works) would be greatly appreciated.

What is the keyboard shortcut for screenshot or print screen?

what is the keyboard shortcut for screenshot or print screen?

Taking Screenshots in Mac OS X
Command-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it as a file on the desktop
Command-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area and save it as a file on the desktop
Command-Shift-4, then space, then click a window: Take a screenshot of a window and save it as a file on the desktop

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!
