Oct 1, 2009 3:19 PM in response to earthworm jimby iyacyas,Hello Earthworm Jim,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If you are wanting to actually print the window of app to printer, then command+P.
If you are trying to get a screen shot, then here are a few hints.
The result of the following will be a PNG on the desktop, unless you change the default locations and file type.
1. To capture entire screen:
CmdShift3
2. To get a screen shot of just a selected area:
*CmdShift4 then highlight wanted area with mouse*.
3. To copy to the clipboard so you can paste into a document: (this is probably the one you are wanting)
CtrlCommandShift-3(or4)
Also you can use the GRAB app in Utilities, which will also capture the mouse pointer and save as TIFF.

Oct 2, 2009 1:48 AM in response to iyacyasby sdmacmike,you can also do Command, + Shift + 4...then hit the spacebar. That let's you take a picture of an entire window (without worrying about cropping)
