    Using Print Screen-Pasting in Paint - and how can I print full page


    Hi: I have done a Print Screen of my desktop and pasted it in Paint. Then saved the file on my hard drive - which I have done in the past. But now I cannot get it printed out on a full page (81/2 x 11 Page). Why? I have done this before but cannot do so tonight. I can print but in smaller size.

    Thanks,

    Once you paste it in Paint, click on Resize. What does it show for Percentage and Pixels?

    Also try opening it in Windows Photo Viewer and printing from there.

    Irfanview may be able to help, if it can read the file you created. Within irfanview, one can set print to full-size or almost full-size.

Heya. When taking a screenshot with printscreen it captures the whole screen, including all monitors where as alt+printscreen only captures the current window in focus, is there anyway to remap the keys so its functionality is swapped?
We print pictures regularly from Windows Photo viewer, to stick in a photo album (yes, we're that old fashoned). The default print size is "full page photo" We always want to print the pictures at 9x13cm. Is there any way to get windows to default to this? Thanks in advance! Andrew
I could save a snip with the snipping tool and after opening it in Paint, it might print very big.
Hi, I just purchased an used computer with Windows 7Home Premium x64, this is an HP Slimline s5610f. The problem that I have is with a Brother HL 2040 series printer.
