Is there a way to print directly from the Snipping tool whitout having to paste the snip or save it and open in a different program?

Hi,

Click the " ? " on the Snipping Tool for HELP. To print a Snip it has to be put into

Paint or another program. The advantage of using the Snipping Tool is that you

don't have to print the entire screen.

Start - type in Search box -> Snipping Tool    find at top of list and double click on it.

    I need the application most on a company PC that is protected against installation of freeware and other software; so the print function is very needed integrated in the snipping tool itself; the work around is indeed very nice but a disgrace for MS they didn't implemented itself

    Same thing here. At work I cant install non-agency software and outlook is not used. At home on my MacBook I use Cmd+Shift+4 it does the same thing but automatically saves the selected area to the desktop as a picture. Open the picture (jpg I think?) and print easy as could be. I don't understand why M$ wont offer something similar? Especially when the software is already there all that needs to be added is a print button.

    This is a bug in the snipping tool.  You should just be able to print within the snipping tool - I don't want to save every snip I make.
