use alt-printscreen to put a screenshot onto the clipboard. then you can
paste it into your image processor/paint program.
there are several utilities available to do printscreens directly to a
printer, like SnagIt from TechSmith.

There is a little gem of a program called Print Screen that will do
this very nicely. You can download a trial copy from
http://techweb.cmp.com/win/current. Or you can buy the commercial
version from Janesway Corp 404 N Terrace Ave. Mount Vernon, NY 10522
for $19.95.
