Printing the screen and printing in XP

Hi all

Not sure this is possible but I have to do a load of screen prints which I
currently paste into Paint. Is there shortcut (or another way to) to
printscreen and then print immediately (without pasting)?

Ideally, alt printscreen and print would be best.

Any ideas greatly appreciated

also try hardcopy or printkey, I have hardcopy, but both provide ways to
pick area of the screens to print rather than the whole thing.
Hardcopy is really simple in that the prntscrn key makes your mouse
cursor turn into cross hairs and all you do is drag a rectangle on the
screen and that is what is captured. I can cut "any" area on the
screen, not just windows etc.

Yes, with a third-party program like Print Screen 2000.
