Alt-Print Screen will copy the image to the clipboard. You can then paste
into a document for printing.

To print what you highlight onm a web page, press Ctrl-C to copy
it, then go into Notepad, or your word processor and press Ctrl-V
to paste what you've copied. Then print it from there.

To print the screen, press the PrintScrn key 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.

But that doesn't do a "Screenshot" it only copies the active window. To do a
Screenshot you need to press Alt_PrtScr

I have no idea what you're trying to get at, or what "that" and
"it" are meant to refer to. As I said above, PrintScrn alone
captures the entire screen, and Alt-PrintScrn captures the active
window.

Well on my installation it's the reverse!

You might want to look at a program such as Snagit,
