Using the Print Screen is one of the steps that we use several times. The first time we used Print Screen was to see what message displayed on our Mocha window. Nothing displayed on mine. Zip, nada. So, that question, and any others that relate to it, I get a 0 grade. It also relates to spooling, print files, queues, etc. Other steps require us to change libraries, print files, etc. Then, we make a new Print Screen to show changes and new messages (which mine doesn't show).

Is it an on-screen button or are you supposed to press it on the keyboard? It's near the F12 on the F-keys function row.
We're supposed to use our actual keyboards. I know where mine is . . . it's labeled. I even tried it with various other key combinations (after searching online for solutions). I've tried it alone, with FN, with shift, with ALT, etc. I used the Reset/ESC in between each combination attempt.

You can also try to exit all background programs/apps you might have running that can conflict with your program.
I'm pretty sure I didn't have anything else running but I'll check. I also shut down, re-booted, signed out, signed in....

I don't know what X-Print is, but it sounds like it could be a capturing tool.
Maybe.
