You cant use the Screen Print button by itself on the newer computers because it was just too easy for someone to come along and hit that button to see what you were working on. So you need to do the following steps: Hit Alt button and Print Screen then open Paint or Word, go to Edit then Paste then you can resize if you need to, go to File and Print. It takes longer, but it give you improved security.
