Concerning "PRTSCN Sys RQ" on Microsoft keyboard

How do you use "prtscn key?

I'm downloading photos into my PC. The photos are shown on my screen with
numbers on each photo to identify the photo.

I'd like to print this "screen" with photos.. Not printing individual
photos, but print on what's on the monitor screen.

I'm told just click on "Prtscn Sys Rq insert". I did that and nothing
happens on the screen to see what is my next step.

Need your assistance.

PrtScr has not printing the screen since DOS. In Windows it Copies the
screen into the clipboard. If you open Paint, or some better graphics
program, you can type CTRL + V to Paste the screen image, and Print it from
there.

ss.

Hitting the PrtScrn key copies the screen image to the clipboard.
Open Paint or IrfanView and paste the clipboard contents. Then you can save
the file, or print it.

I use a free program called Gadwin Printscreen, which you can configure to
use the PrtScrn button, and copy to the clipboard, and/or send to the
printer, etc.

Another thing - printing your photos in this way will result in very small
and/or blocky pictures, as they will only be printed at screen resolution at
72dpi.

If you wanted to print these photos with numbers, you can use a program like
ACDSee, which will give you various options to print thumbnails. Photoshop
lets you make prints that are like contact prints in photography. I'm sure
less expensive programs have similar options. Try the free IrfanView,
maybe.

ss.

Open a graphics program like Paint, right click in the Paint window, and select
Paste.

Back in the days of DOS, the PrintScrn key used to print the screen.
But in all versions of Windows, this works differently, and the name
of the key is now an anachronism.

To use the key, press it to capture an image of the entire screen, or
press alt-PrintScrn to capture an image of the active window. Either
one captures the image to the Windows clipboard. Once it's in the
clipboard you can paste (Ctrl-V) it into any application that supports
graphics (Windows Paint, other graphics programs, even your favorite
word processor). You can edit or add to the image as you wish, then
print it.

This ability to manipulate the image in a program before printing it
is an improvement over the original DOS method of just printing it.
But if you'd like that old facility back, there are several
third-party freeware/shareware programs that can do this, such as
