How to do a printscreen (prt scr) on an HP laptop

This is exactly what I was wondering today while working on a new HP laptop today. How do you do a print screen? Because every time I click the ‘prt scr’ button (it’s shared with an ‘insert’ command), the ‘insert’ action is done.

So I eventually figured it out. Hit the ‘fn’ (function)button located next to the ‘ctrl’ (control) button on your keyboard along with the ‘prt scr’ button to take a screen shot successfully.

    What do you mean by ‘it doesn’t have prt scr’? What’s your laptop model?

    I’ve tried holding down the fn button and prt sc, but..it didn’t work. All I got was my cursor to blink on the screen, but other than that, nothing happened. Help?

    Happens sometimes. Restart your machine and you should be okay.
