In the days of DOS, the print screen button to print the screen. But
in all versions of Windows, it works differently and the name of
the key is now an anachronism. The key is not to print the screen.
PrtScrn captures the entire screen and Alt-PrtScrn captures activate
window.

Either a capture of the image in the Windows Clipboard. Once it is in
the Clipboard, you can paste (Ctrl + V) into any application that
supports graphics (Windows Paint, other graphics software, even your)
favorite text processing). You can change or add to the image you
like, then print it out.

This ability to manipulate the image in a program before printing
is an improvement on the original method of printing the whole back.
But if you like that old return facility, there are several
freeware/shareware programs from third parties which can do, such as

    The 'Print screen' button is misnamed.  In fact, what happens when you press it, it is that an image of the screen is copied to the Clipboard.  You must then open an application that can work with images (paint works) and paste in the opened window (or right-click > paste or edit > paste).  Then you can use the regular print of this application (for example, the file > print).

    You can also download free IrfanView.  It is a very handy utility.  It allows you to open and view a wide variety of image file formats and also has the capability of the bulk renaming of files and - for your current number - capture screen images and prints them out.

  • Pavilion dv4: black screen, flashing three HEADED by caps lock and prnt scrn.

    So, Ive had this computer for awhile, (not too long) and I noticed that many people have complained that the screen turning black and does not yet.
    Now, in my case, my screws come not cancelled, so I'm not able to check the memory problem (as indicated by the sequencing of the lighting).
    So is there another way to check what the problem? The screws are glued in place, virtually impossible to return.
    It's the first time that did something like that, and I've tried the power reset. It solves nothing.

    Hi @Awoken ,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I hope you enjoy ad with us.

    I see that your computer does not turn and you get a model three blink code. You're right, that does not indicate a problem of memory. If he could get into the operating system, then it would be memory test that you can run, but only if you can get into the operating system. You will need to open and remove the memory. This is Service and Maintenance Guide for your model 50A removal instructions page if you can pass the screws.

  • HP Deskjet 2540: How to print only the Page showing

    How to fix my printer to print just what is on the screen?

    For example, I am trying to print the list of the NBA team, which shows on the screen, but when I hit print, it prints five pages and the list is divided between the last two pages.

    I used to have a nice little program, years, called "Print Screen", which I was allowed to do, but it became obsolete.  My HP 2540 is new and I have the CD with any software.  Is there something out there that will help you?  TIA

    D-S-N

    Thank you banhien, but as I mentioned in the post, the list was divided between two pages when it print so choose page I was only half of the team.  However, I found a solution, provided by HP and ready to install.  I remembered a window asking if I wanted to install "HP Smart Print" shortly after I installed my new printer to appear.  I didn't know what it was, I went on it.  I shouldn't, because it's actually the version of HP of the old program 'Print Screen'.

    It allows you to choose from, with the mouse, the entire page or a part of the page, preview and enlarge (up to 200%) or to reduce and print any number of pages you want.  Really great!  I found it waiting to be installed in 'Tools' on the menu of Office Windows 8.1 under "HP Smart Print 2.1".»  As soon as it is installed and I went to the for use, he informed me that there is a 'Smart Print 2.7' update available, I did, it only took about 30 seconds and he was.  It works perfectly.

    A second solution is to go out tomorrow and buy another victory. 8.0 HP keyboard, to replace my five-year-old wireless keyboard HP Deluxe Desktop which is supported only through Win XP and who does not the "Prnt scrn" button  I guess it is old 32-bit and 64 - bit.  Hitting "ALT - Prnt scrn" used to work with XP and earlier operating systems.

  • How do you screen captures a context menu?

    In Windows XP, I was able to hold the print screen key down while I was open a context menu and then press Alt to capture the screen with the context menu in the Clipboard.  Now I can't do that work (using Windows 7 64-bit) and cannot do the same with the cutting tool, as far as I can tell.  Any guidance would be appreciated.  I read the thread on the print screen key does not as it used and I agree - I did find the magic combination to make it work at all (I tried Control, Alt, function and various combinations without success.)

    --E

    Ah, I found it (at least on my Dell Latitude E6510).  The magic combination is the first F-lock (Fn + F5), and then FN + F11 (Prnt Scrn).

  • I have no security.enable_ssl3 and security.enable_tls where can I re-download it?

    So I think I might have deleted the security.enable_ssl3 and the security.enable_tls by accident. Now I have problems to open Web sites. I went to about: config and typed in serurity.enable and nothing showed. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, but I still have the same problem. How can I solve this problem?

    For future use, if you need to show someone what's on your screen, it is best to take a screenshot instead of a photo.

    1. Press the print screen on the keyboard button to copy a screenshot to the Clipboard. This key can also be labeled Prnt Scrn, prt sc, or something similar.
    2. Paste the image into an editor like Paint.
    3. Save the file, preferably in PNG format.
    4. On sites that do not allow to attach files (this site is, for the answers), you can download your images to a host like imgur.com and share the link.

    . . . Copying starts...

    The circle is much larger than the small program loading circle spinning. A little more than an inch across and there are two lines that appear at a time and two sets to leave numbers that you know the size of the image, I guess.

    The lines move separate from the circle, numbers, follow one of the lines. A line up and down and the other on the side and move at the same time. As if you put an X in the middle of the page, drew the lines to meet the X, and while they move follow the X is on the best way to describe what I see.

    When you click on to try to get a picture, you see only the section of the page under where the circle sits. He enlarged so it is just color, can't point to something distinctive.
