Printer starts to 'save' instead of 'print screen '.

Original title: Chris, NC

When I try to print something from the internet or e-mail that he will immediately display 'save' instead to the 'print screen '! Why? What happens here? Can someone help me? Tell me what to do to fix this? Thank you very much!

Hi Chris,
Please go to the Microsoft Community Forums.
 
If you could answer a few questions that would help us resolve this problem:
1. What is the brand and model of the printer?
2. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?
3. what web browser do you use?
4 are you facing this problem when I try to print online?
5. do you use keyboard shortcut keys to print?
 
If you use Internet Explorer, and then see the support link:
I can't print or preview before printing a Web page in Internet Explorer

I hope this helps.

    Hello

    When you press the button PRTSCN, then the image of your screen is Save the Clipboard (something like CTRL + C in WORD). You must run (for failure) paint (the program for work with images) and press CTRL + V. Then you can save it as a file.

    Painting - you can run like this:

    Click on Start - run and write mspaint.exe and click OK

    where can I see the photos 'print screen '?

    They are in the Clipboard. If you paste into a paint program (type mspaint into Start - Run all programs - accessories -) or a text editor (Start - All Programs - Accessories - Wordpad). Also see the tool captures to capture the screen (Start - All Programs - Accessories - Snipping Tool).
     
    Copy the screen [Prev |] Next | Content]

    PRT Scn Copies the entire screen to the Clipboard as a graphic or the screen with the mouse if you are using multiple monitors. Use MS Paint to paste the picture. It is also known under the nameof Office Snap.

    According to the key parameters of Prt Scn tab Misc properties of a Dos program, a program back can still print on printer Prt Scn keyed.

    ALT + Prt Scn Copies the active window to the Clipboard in the form of a graph. This is also known as theWindows Snap.
    CTRL + Prt Scn Copies the entire virtual screen when you are using multiple monitors in the Clipboard in the form of a graph. Unlike the other two screens to Print that precedes this one doesn't seem to have a name, or if so, it is not listed in the header of the window files.
    CTRL + Alt + key number minus button Copies the active window to the Clipboard of remote desktop in the form of a graph (same as thePrt Scn locally)
    CTRL + Alt + number Pad Plus key Copies the entire screen to the Clipboard in office to distance in the form of a graph (same asAlt + Prt Scn locally)

    Such programs that Outlook Express do not allow paste not web graphs. Paste into MS Paint andrecord under a web graphics. If the screenshot by email sending save it as a jpeg, gif or png file before sending (in MS Paint,file - save as, and then choose a format in Save As Type). The color isn't usually important for the screenshots is a way to make a really small file save as a GIF (this reduced to 256 colors), and then save the Gif to Png (lossless and better than Gif compression) or Jpeg (lossy).

    To take screenshots of the menus in the current use of the window the Alt key and hold it down during the entire procedure. ALT + a touch of letter to access the menus, then the keysdirection to move the selection, then Print Screen. Release Alt.

    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.

  • 'Print screen' key big & stretched

    I have a MacBook Pro of the retina, 13 inches, running OS X El Capitan (Version 10.11.5).  When I try to print a group of Contacts (Version 9.0) print screen opens but is great, "fill more" or is "tense" on the screen of my Mac. You don't see the buttons CANCEL or PRINT at the bottom right. Are completely off the screen. I even turned on hiding to the Doc, but they are still not visible. I have to type "ESC" to exit this wide screen.

    I tried to force him to quit, restart my Mac, resize the print screen open, etc..  I can always print with this widescreen by returning. All the solutions to get the print screen back to normal, which would be about the size of the Contacts app all open on the screen of the Mac?

  • could not find USB device & not print screen

    I'm sorry, but I have another question. I'm so sick of this. I swear that my system, the material is good (tablet of Motion LE1600 quite common with WinXP svc pk 3 & Security Essentials from a full reimage a month ago)

    All of a sudden today, my tablet is not my mobile phone which is connected with a USB cable, so ActiveSync starts. I messed with the USB cable and moved to another plugin. It plugs into the Tablet directly and not through the recharge base.

    In addition, at the same time, my USB keyboard does not at all on this pc. But the USB mouse works fine!

    So there is a problem with the USB plug-ins, I guess. Do not know what has been changed, but I've probably done something, or who knows...

    In addition, my e: drive drive USB which uses the Live Image to make full backups said it is in pause Mode. Don't know what it is, but I bet that it is not connected somehow, although if I look at my computer, I see e: listed there.

    And when I start my pc and connect, I get this pop up in the taskbar saying that some Windows delayed write failed for a file named e:\$Mft. The data has been lost (?). Since print screen will not work to create an image in Paint Shop Pro, it has been challenging trivia note.

    And I look at the table Motion, which helps you set up the Tablet and periphials, dashboard and under Microsphone, he said an input control limited - Knowles Intellisonic software is not enabled.

    I looked in all programs and in my computer > all programs and I see nothing named Knowles and Intellisonic. I have no idea what to do, TI, it is still important.

    Help!

    Solved (for now!). I went to F8 on reboot and did the last good known Configuration and it worked. I'm very happy now...

  • On Vista, how used print screen to take a capture screen or pause a video or play?

    I'm looking to perform a simple task here, and who takes always an or a screenshot of a video using the print screen key, for editing in PhotoShop CS3. But, I can't figure out where the nature/screenshot after having clicked on the button Prt Sc, or if I'm still hitting right (ex. Ctrl > Prt Sc or Fn > Prt Sc, or even simply Prt Sc). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello

    Print screen (Prt Sc) button will save an image in the Windows Clipboard.
    You can paste the Image stored in any Image editing software.

    for example: after hitting print screen, open MSPaint, now it click Edit and Paste. The image should be pasted into MSpaint.
    You also do the same in CS3.

    You can also use the shortcut 'ALT + PrintScreen' copy just the image of the window (not the entire screen) to the Clipboard.

    Try it.

  • Print screen with Snipping Tool does not.

    Print screen or capture tool work.  They worked very well in the past, but now neither one works.  Back to zero does not solve the problem.

    Screenshot doesn't seem to do anything in the copy buffer because even if the block occurs, nothing sticks in.

    Snipping Tool just shows a black with a red around him border screen, instead of the actual screen shot (no matter the option I select IE free Style or whole screen, etc.), I have Vista Home Premium with all service packs.

    Thank you

    This should be the final resolution to my problem of Snipping Tool/print screen:

    1. I downloaded and ran the Malwarebytes program as recommended.  And BTW, I don't see this recommendation here.  I'm fairly new participant in Forums, so maybe there's a reason that I see here this recommendation I don't know.  The Malwarebytes has really done his job and even if I run MS Essentials program found Malwarebytes 25 hits of Mal-ware on this PC.  Once I have it fixes these problems, the symptoms of my problem of Snipping Tools became less consistent.

    If Malwarebytes fixed part of the problem with the Snipping incroyables.* *.

    2 but the final resolution is that it turns out that there is that one Internet site where the tool captures will not work and it is my Bank.  I know that my Bank suggested I run a program called safety report.  It's my theory that is my bank site or report has something programmed into it that prevents screen either with the tool to capture and print screen captures.  If I go into my bank site with Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox, the Snipping Tool will not work.  However, the Snipping Tool works everywhere else.  It's all the other websites and in other programs.

    The Snipping Tool does not work on my banking site (probably because of the REPORT) and maybe it will not work on other sites closely to secure *.

    Thank you very much for the help.
