Re: Print Screen Doesnt Work Properly?

Well, I am a noob to linux altogether, and I had the same problem. I have found that changing the keyboard shortcut under Computer > Desktop Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts seems to work. Your may be set to disabled if you haven't set it.

Hope this fixes it, if it even helps at all.

You do know that you can Computer -> Take Snapshot and use the GIMP to take a snapshot (along with set a timer which will take the snapshot after however many seconds you declare).

Re: Print Screen Doesnt Work Properly?

Hm, I'm also having problems using Print Screen...however, if I set the keyboard shortcut to anything else, it works...the only thing that doesn't work is the print screen key. Maybe an X keyboard configuration problem?
