You can always use the PrintScreen key to copy what you seen on the screen to the Windows clipboard, and then print it from another app (e.g. Wordpad). If you want more control (e.g. color substitution, scaling, print preview, printing windows that scroll...), please check out our screen capture utility "SnagIt". It solves many printing problems! An eval version is available at http://www.techsmith.com. Best of luck, Dean seanross at worldnet.att.net wrote in message <64itgh$4nu$1 at dragonfly.wolfram.com>: >Robert M.
