    The PrtScn button usually does work but after pressing the button you need to paste it into an Image program like Gimp.
    I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

    I'd rather be lost at the lake than found at home.

    You can also make screenshots through Gimp itself. Go to "File" > "Create" > "Screenshot..."

    i suppose it depends on the DE? I'm running gnome and when i press print screen button it brings up a dialog that asks me to either save the screenshot or copy to clipboard so i can paste it elsewhere

    also, i have an application installed gnome-screenshot that was installed with gnome-utils that allows me to take a screenshot that way as well

    It uses Open Box or JWM coop. In MyWolfe which uses XFCE 4.6. I found it too tedious to open gimp and use it's screenshot utility. So I went with

    Puppy Linux Discussion Forum :: View topic - Pup-Shots Screenshot Utility

    which works quite well actually.

    There is a camera icon on the ibar in macpup by default. That takes a screenshot.

    Open a terminal and enter:
    Code:
    scrot
    and it should save a screenshot to your desktop
    and you can also enter:
    Code:
    scrot --help
    for more options and/or read the man page:
    Code:
    man scrot
    .
