Print screen does not work on my windows 7. Samsung laptop computer. Tried the fn, alt, cont + prt sc

Can't just 'print screen '. Have to go to paint, home, paste, save, name the file, select jpeg and then save again. Then go to the file and print it. On my old computer

I just clicked on print screen. Any help out there?

I'm not 100% clear what you mean - you say that you "click" print screen - where & in what program? Do you mean the print screen on your keyboard key?

Here's how the print screen button key keyboard should work...

The Print Screen key does not immediately print on the screen, as the name might make you think - it's a bit wrong to foreground. Instead, it copies the current image of the screen to your Clipboard. You can then paste this image into a program type photo editing (or similar) so that you can edit it or print it from there.

Another way of the foregoing is by pressing Alt + print screen on your keyboard - it's exactly the same as the above, but the image on the Clipboard is only the active window.

Please see:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows7/take-a-screen-capture-print-your-screen

and,

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows7/Using-Paint .

If the above does not answer your question please can you explain your problem more clearly so that we can help you.

  • print screen does not work with ios 10

    I used to take screenshots by pressing the sleep/wake button and the home button. with ios 10.01, it no longer works. even if I get home before the sleep button sleep. even if I press them together very quickly. It does not work. I tried several times by pressing on quickly. I tried to restart. still does not work.

    Hi laurannso,

    Thanks for the update to iOS 10! I understand that you have problems with taking screenshots with your device. You can try a simple reboot of your iPhone. Restart your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch

    If restarting the device does not resolve the problem, try to save your iPhone restaurant next to the factory settings.

    The backup of your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

    Use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings

    These measures should have your screenshots works on your iPhone, as expected. Please use the Apple Support communities to post your question.

    Take care.

  • Print screen does not work with DVD player

    I had a DVD created from old family movies. Now, I'm trying to capture an image using screen capture tools, but all I get is a gray image. I tried shift-3-Cmde, shift-command-4-click, enter, etc., but no luck. Here's what I come up with:

    While the DVD player is reading the file, no files are displayed when I open the DVD disc. I have a MAC PRO with El Capitan. Thank you

    Apple's DVD player has not authorized screenshots for quite awhile - it is deliberate and very probably some copyright.

    There are two methods to get the screen capture anyway - one is to download and use the VLC media player (free of charge) to your screenshots as usual, the other is to use the controls in the Apple's DVD player, which is a bit clunkier.  To use Apple's DVD player, pause playback, then choose the DVD player > orders > use the current image as a jacket photo menu item, then press stop - stop playback of DVD will bring to the top of the image of the jacket, which you pouvez capture.

  • Print screen does not work

    I press Alt + prt scr, yet nothing happens.  Many moons ago, I had the same problem, and of course, I don't know how to correct it.  So if there is anyone here who knows the answer, I'd be happy to hear it.  I have a Pavilion A700y - 2 PU063AV using Windows XP Service Pack 3.

    Thank you

    After pressing alt-prtscr you open Paint or Word and paste the screen capture without any result? If so, try ctrl alt-prtscr.

  • Photosmart 7520: Printer Wizard does not work on Windows 10

    My PC has recently upgraded Windows 10.  I am now having a problem with the Printer Wizard.

    Previously, I had the status display, the ink levels, scan document, check printer heads, etc.

    Now all I get is a printer configuration screen that has 3 options

    -connect a new printer,

    -convert a USB printer wireless, and

    -Add new software.

    How can I get the correct printer assistant screen to run?

    Thank you.

    Hi @AJA3,

    Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support for a solution to your problem of HP printer Assistant.

    I understand that you use a HP Photosmart 7520 e-all-in-one printer with a computer who has recently upgraded Windows 10 and now, when you click on the printer icon to open the HP printer Assistant you get the "connect a new printer"window. " I would like to help with that.

    It is not that the HP printer Assistant does not work, but probably the printer probable network needs to be reinstalled.

    I would like to start by uninstalling all software that was installed before the upgrade to Windows 10 relating to printers. Here is a support document which can help needed - uninstalling the software of the printer (Windows).

    If you get prompted to restart the computer when uninstalling, go ahead and do the restart. If this isn't the case, restart the computer after the uninstall is complete.

    Once the computer is ready, try to use the HP printer installation wizard for installation. This tool will find the most recent version of the printer software and installation help.

    Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.

    Indeed, if this help you to achieve a solution please click the 'accept as Solution' and the 'thumbs up' buttons down below in this message.

    Thank you!
