To do a screen capture and save to dektop:

Apple key-shift-3 captures whole screen and saves image to desktop

Apple key-shift-4 Allows you to select a section of screen to save to desktop

To save to clipboard instead of save to desktop as an image, so you can paste into a document add the control key as well to either of those combinations.

e.g.

Apple key-control-shift-3 - saves whole screen to clipboard so can paste elsewhere.

easy way to do this would be to use a program and take a picture of it such as Jing and print it or if you would rather not download anything on your keyboard you will have a prt sc button press this go to the Paint program paste it there and print it out.

On an IBM PC type of computer, this is done by pressing the "Print Scrn" key on the keyboard.

One would then start up a graphics program to import the clipboard contents, save the image as a file and send it to one's printer if hard copy is needed.

What key saves a picture that is on your screen now?

I'm not quite sure which device you are talking about, so here are the methods for several of them. Windows: Press the key labeled 'Print Screen' or anything similar to that, then the screenshot will be copied to your clipboard and you can paste it into a program such as Paint. If you don't have a Print Screen key then search for a screen capturing application for windows. Mac: Command + Shift + 3, the screenshot should then be saved on your Desktop. You can use the 'Grab' application more even more features. iPod touch: Press the Home and Sleep/Wake (the button on the top) buttons simultaneously. It will appear in your Camera Roll.
