"Print Screen" in Windows

How do you "Print Screen" when in Windows version on the MacBook? I know that for the Mac version we use Apple + Shift + 3; but what is the equivalent on the PC side? With no "Print Screen" key on the keyboard - what is the shortcut?
Desperate for help! Thanks!

Sadly there isn't one; try remap.exe -- not 100% sure it'll help, but it's worth a go.

Print screen in Windows 7

Hi,
anyone having this problem...I have two Macs (new) with bootcamp installed (plus any updates) and neither can print screen in Windows 7. I've tried all the usual button combinations (shift, FN, F11) and still no joy!
If anyone has got a clue I'd be grateful, it's doing my head in!

Alright...
After 3 days of trying out all kinds of key combinations, new keyboards, asking nerds and so on, I finally found out what my (and probably your) problem is that in Win7, you can't really see, that a screen shot has been done, because here it will only be saved into the clipboard. This means that after you did the key combination (fnShiftF11), you have to Paste it into the file you want to use it with (e.g. Word, Paint or whatever...).
Let me know when it worked!

other question.... will windows 7 run fast on my MBP (specs noted Under)???
Should run very well on your Mac.
You might wanna consider using the 64-bit version of Windows 7 to be able to fully use the 4GB RAM.
Also depending on your useage of Windows make sure to assign enough diskspace for WIndows (40GB for WIndows 7 alone plus space for programs and files).
Have Fun and thanks for the star.

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

Unable to Print Screen Captivate 3's publish windows (minor)

I know this is minor, but was wondering why I can't use my computer's Print Screen on the advanced publishing windows. I can take a print screen of the main Publish window, but if I click the eLearning output window or the preferences, it won't take a screen shot. Anyone know why or know if I need to do something different? I want to document all our settings for other users in my office.

LOL, love your avatar of the green stop!
What are you using? Plain old Print Screen? Perhaps try using a screen capture application? Perhaps even Captivate itself? Start two sessions and record the second with the first?

Hi Cat32,
I understand you are not able to print using shortcut keys.
I was just wondering if you installed the printer on your new Windows 8 Pro.
I would like to help but I do need to know the printer that you are using.
Here is a link to drivers and software help.

Print Screen function in Windows using Mac keyboard

The following article gives the Windows equivalent keys on the Mac keyboard. On the PC keyboard, "Alt-Print Screen" would be "option-F14". But it doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1167

Disregard question... "alt-F14" works. It was just poor execution.

Print screen offers save option, no print button. operation system is Windows 8.1

I have a HP officeJet printer , 6830 e-all-in one. I have had it for about 2 months and recently it has
started requiring me to save a document before I can print it. The Print screen is not offering me a print
option, only a save option. Once I save the document it will allow we to then print it.
Operating system is 8.1. This is happening when I attempt to print from my computer, other in the household
do not seem to have this problem They are using Windows 7.

Hello @Hoege,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are being prompted to save instead of printing.
I would like to help.
The solution really depends on where you are printing from.
For example, if you are printing from the Chrome browser and get this message, you need to select change destination.
This will in turn open teh settings menu, and you will have to select your printer as the destination.
If you are experiencing this issue from Word, or other programs, then I would try the HP Print and Scan Doctor.

Cannot Print Screen and paste to Windows Paint

Hi
I try to do screen capture and paste it to Windows Paint, it did not work on Windows 10.
How come?
Is this a software bug from Windows 10.
I try many times it does not seems to work at all!

Hitting <print screen> (to capture the entire desktop) and using <alt>+<print screen> (to capture a single window) to paste into MSPAINT (and Photoshop) worked perfectly using Windows 10 Technical Preview for Enterprise.
You do have another alternative, however. The built-in snipping tool is great and works wonders. Just type snip in the Windows search bar.

The Print Screen Key under Windows

I just picked up my Apple aluminum keyboard (with the numeric keypad) and absolutely think it's the bomb. I have gotten to the point where any other keyboard just isn't as easy to use, and I do a LOT of typing at work.
That being said, there are a few keys that I use on a routine basis that don't seem to work under the Apple aluminum keyboard. I found a workaround for the Insert key (press left shift key and the zero (0) on the numeric keypad) and that's fixed, but I am at a loss to find an equivalent keypress for the Print Screen key.
I see a lot of solutions online that recommend obtaining key mapper software to make the keyboard work, but this is a locked-down environment in which all software of that kind will not work; it is therefore not an option in this case.
I'm thinking that, since there is a key equivalent for the Insert key, chances are strong that there is also a key equivalent for the Print Screen key. So, does anyone know which key combination that might be?
Thanks in advance.

Not many hardware devices ou there that don't need some sort of driver to be installed.
Some drivers are provided by the operating system, some from the hardware manufacturer.
Again, my workplace is a locked-down environment in which NO OUTSIDE SOFTWARE CAN BE INSTALLED. We're not permitted, and can get into serious trouble if we attempt it. So, it's really not worth it to try... and as we don't have "Admin" on the desktops anyway, the chances of it actually working are incredibly slim.
Again ? First time you tell about it. Like the first time you told about the non-Mac you use with the keyboard...
In other words, if it ain't in the keyboard itself, as in the "left shift/numeric keypad 0 = Insert" combo, there is nothing I can do.
I do keep the company-supplied keyboard on the same desk, off to the side, so all I have to do is reach over and hit the required keys, but I really thought there might be a way to do this, so long as someone knew the proper key combos. Perhaps there is no answer.
Perhaps...

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.
This question was solved.

You're amazing! You're a genius! Where HP fell short in their customer service (via email), you really helped me out. All systems working now. Thank you!
