On my DELL laptop, I use Print Screen like I normally do, but it doesn't work. How could I get it to work?

i'm guessing that you mean when you want to paste it somewhere it doesnt paste. check the print screen button, is it written in white or blue? if blue, you gotta press the FN key with it.

When you press the "print screen" key your computer takes a "picture" of what is on the screen and puts it on the paste board.  If you open Word you should then be able to paste what was on the screen, and then print it.

Yeah. It's easy. All you do is hit the "Print Screen" or "PrtScrn" button. It looks like it does nothing. Don't worry. THen open up a program like Word or a paint program and hit ctrl+v and it should pop right in and you can print from there! It's great!

Restart your computer with your printer already on. If that doesn't work, re-install your printer drivers, be sure to follow the directions exactly.

With some Dells, you can press the Fn key along with F7 to enable screen expansion.  I hope this works for your laptop, but if it does not, then I'm giving you the link for Dell online support.  The site was a bit fussy tonight and I could not get through, but "enable screen expansion" is the issue you want to research.\n\nhttp://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/en/entry?c=us&l=en&s=gen\n\nGood luck to you!

If you want to print your screen, here are some easy steps in order to accomplish this task.\n\n1). Press the Print Screen button that is typically located along the "F" bar line.\n\n2). Open up either Microsoft Word or Paint.\n\n3). Click on Edit and Paste. \n\n4). Either save the document or print it out then and there.

Hi there,\n\nGo to windows' control panel and open the "mouse" icon. Then select the appropriate option from the ones that are offered to you. If the option is not present in your Control Panel, you may need to install extra drivers from Dell's website ( http://www.dell.com , select support -> drivers ).

What kind of display do you have?  LCD or CRT.  Sometime your monitor won't do certain resolution.  I believe your card should always be able to support lower resolution.  My guess is that you may have a hardware incompatibility problem.  May be update your driver software from Dell will help.\n\nGood luck.

Right click the picture if on a website and select print but you must print to a color printer.  If you have the picture the same should work but you could also go to print preview in the program you are viewing it in and make sure It shows the one picture and if it does click print. \n Good Luck!

I had this problem at work.  It was the printer driver.  Make sure you have the latest compatible driver set up your computer.  That's about all I can tell you.\n\nIf this is at work, contact your administrator.

Can you open it up with MS Paint, which comes with Windows?\nIf not, how about Windows Picture Viewer.  When you are viewing that, do a print screen, then paste it into MS Paint.\n\nIn MS paint, can you try to resize it so it prints on 6 pages.  Go to Image, Stretch/Skew.  Type in a number for height and width, for example 50% to halve the picture.

What do you mean? The Print Screen key can be used to take a screenshot of the screen and put it into the clipboard which you then paste into a graphics package (e.g. Paint). If you want it to do something immediately, I used to know of a program that, when you pressed print screen, immediately opened with the screenshot in it ready to be printed (but I'm sorry to inform you I've forgotten what it's called :-S).

I am assuming you are running some recent version of Windows. If that is the case you can do the following\n\nselect the window where the graphical output of your program is\n\npress control-alt-printscreen to capture the window\n\nopen the paint program (start->programs->accessories->paint)\n\ntype control-v (or select edit->paste) to paste the captured window (as an image)\n\nselect file->print in paint to print the image to your printer (which of course should be properly installed)\n\ngood luck
