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.

    My thoughts are that Microsoft should make this nifty tool so you do not have to copy and paste it to another program.  My question is how can you print directly from the snip menu and you cant so far.  peggy

    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.  

    Yes, I tried to tell Microsoft that on the beta for Windows 7 – yes, that long ago.   They said no, it wasn’t a bug, it was design functionality and printing  wasn’t needed.

    How do you argue with that?   As they say, you can’t fix stupid.
