Print Screen Button not working

Pressing the print screen button does not actually print the screen to the printer. It copies it. Open WORD or PAINT and "paste" it. You can then actually print it

what ink has failed?
please tell the exact error message

To access the Print Screen Button you have to hold the key marked FN down while doing so. This accesses the special character/Function Set that is built into the computer.

Try this, go to Control Panel, open "Power Options" and on the left pane, click "when I close the lid...." or similar options for Lid and and choose "Do nothing" on both the options available on "Close Lid" menu. Save the settings and try whether this helps or not.
(you can go to the power options by right-clicking the desktop, select "Properties" then to "Screen Save" [XP] or to "Power" tab.)
Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

If the print screen button doesn't work, try to use Alt + Print Screen. If that doesn't work either, then try to re-install the software that came with your keyboard (if there is).

However, for most multi-media keyboards and mice, the CD that comes with them usually made to program the special buttons only. But I'm not sure in your case. There could be an option for you to re-program the buttons on your end, including the Print Screen button.

But if there's no way to re-program it and the Alt + Print Screen didn't help, then you may want to send the keyboard to the reseller or manufacturer for repair. It's a hardware defect.

Thank you and good luck!

first thing check the innerlock

I just had this problem and here's what I did (with a little help from a previous yahoo answers post)...

1. Turn printer and computer off
2. Disconnect printer from computer
3. Unplug printer completely
4. Hold power button on printer while plugging printer back into power source. Maintain holding power button in until printer cycles completely (Ihave no idea if hold it actually does anything...but I tried it and it worked)
5. Turn printer back off (which actually may happen anyway when you finally release the power button)
6. Reconnect printer back to power source and computer.
7. Power both back up.

That should do it hopefully. Also make sure your printer cartridges aren't totally out. It won't let you print if even one of them is completely empty.

Good luck.

the power is supposed to stay on when that little plastic button is pressed(screen switch)the screen switch activates hibernate and power saving;if you press the power button a screen will open informing you what programs are currently working.by shutting down you have caused an illegal command.
hopefully if you restart in safemode then shut down correctly and restart every thing should be ok.
