Hi Anonymous,

My Google search phrase "Linux printscreen" yielded 450,000 'hits'. Near the 
top was a link to one of the best Linux/printscreen usage summaries I've ever 
read (which is why I'm sharing it):

http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Make_a_Screenshot_with_PrintScreen_Key

There's even a script, mid-page, that you could probably easily extend to 
automate the capture>print function your user is after.

How's that for service? Now please try harder next time so y wont have to post 
anonymously.

regards,

Carl
