Print Screen Items With W98SE

Couple of years back I was able to print things like the Device Mgr, etc
directly from the screen. I can't remember what program I was using at
the
time. Don't think it was a Win98 app. Any suggestions ?

A "Save window image" function is built into Windows
(i.e. is not a separately-named app.) used by:

1. Key simultaneously ALT and Print Screen;
this saves to clipboard a graphic image of the
current window or whole screen.
2. Load any graphic app (e.g. MS Paint) and in
an empty file use the Paste command (Ctrl-V).
This copies from the clipboard into the app.
3. You can then edit, enlarge, or print the
graphic image as you please.

For #1 try experimenting with Print Screen button
alone and with Ctrl or Alt. You may find one saves
the whole display and another saves only the
currently logged window.

There is a program that will allow you to just hit the print screen
key and send the active window to the printer. Download the lite
version.
