Creating a print screen is extremely easy on most operating systems due to built in tools.

Here are the basic steps on most platforms:
1. Press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard. It is located in the upper right of a standard 104-key keyboard. It is usually next to Insert/Scroll lock and Pause/Break
2. An image of your screen is copied to memory. To save this image to file, use your favorite image editor.

Windows

You can use the Paint program that is built into Windows for saving bitmap (.bmp), JPEG (.jpg), .png, and other file formats.

To open paint, go to Start > Accessories > Paint.

Linux

Mac OS
