SUMMARY
SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN cannot be used to print a graphics display screen
with a laser printer using the MS-DOS Graphics command in version 4.0.
However, Hewlett-Packard (HP) does provide a utility called HPSCREEN
that supports screen dumps from HP Vectra, IBM PC/XT/AT/PS2, and
100-percent Vectra compatibles. The following display adapters and
printers are supported:
Display Modes Printers
----------------------------
VGA LaserJet Series II, IID, IIP, III
EGA LaserJet, LaserJet Plus, LaserJet 500 Plus,
LaserJet 2000
MCGA DeskJet, DeskJet Plus
MDA PaintJet, PaintJet XL
HGC QuietJet, QuietJet Plus
MMC ThinkJet, RuggedWriter
The GRAPHICS command in MS-DOS versions 5.0 and later supports screen dumps
to most of the printers mentioned above and other printers not supported by
MS-DOS 4.0.
MORE INFORMATION
