Hi, I currently run Windows 98 ver 4.10.98
Printer is HP DESKJET 710

When I am in a dos window I can not get it to print to my printer by using Shift\Print Screen. I have used the Ctrl - P key to make sure it was turned on. But when I am in dos and if I type copy Files.txt prn it will print that file, but will not print the screen, any ideas???

I hope I posted in the right spot. ~ DwightWha happens if you press Print Screen and then open up Paint and use PASTE (Control+V)?It says it can not find Paint. Although it is listed in accesories, it does not work.
I did find that if I type dir>LPT1 in dos it will print the dir, also if I type this entry type files.txt>LPT1 it will print that file. But I can still not get it to print the screen. I also uninstalled the driver for HP printer updated and reinstalled.Try tto get paint installed (Control Panel/Add and Remove Programs)Do you have MS-Office?

You can (control Print) to copy and (control v) to INSERT in Word.

uliDon't use Paint, thats for graphics. Use the block and copy features at the top of the DOS window. Paste into Notepad and print. I keep a shortcut to Notepad on my quick launch bar for easy access.Okay, I GOT paint installed and yes it copies but it copies the whole screen just like a print screen does.
I tried what uli_glueck suggested and that WORKED great, also what 2k_dummy suggested and that too worked great, so I now have two options to use, both of which are good. Thanks to all 3 of you for your help ~ Dwight
