What is print screen and how do I use it?

i'm using a laptop, and it's definitely not there. is there a shortcut i can use?

testing.

Mac users press SHIFT+COMMAN+3

Will hear a camera shutter sound and jpeg will automatically appear on desktop.

:P hard to believe so many people didnt know it before :P

If you cant find your printscreen button like a pure nub lol, download gadwin print screen (just search gadwin in googl) and get that, its an easier way of making pics from screen 9very fast too) you can bind some buttons to print the screen (or a region of the screen, which you use the moue to hgihlight) and it saves to a derstination folder that you put in your settings, and auto names it or asks yo for the name.

haha ym favourite button too. I can take screen shots of lenore and of dresden dolls videos and I can use it pain to edit screen shots on MSN and change what people say......

print screen comes in handy when doin web research n stuff. used it alot at school. great tool

You can also paste it right into a MSN Messanger message!

Makes it small file and sends fast and give the person your talking to a full screenshot of what your looking at!

Nice way to get help online !

nice info.

there's a prt sc button in some keyboards. Press it and open ms paint and click on edit then paste. Voila!

Should be somewhere after the f12 key...

Its like taking a picture of your screen. Try pressing the print screen button, open MS paint, click edit and paste and there you go.
