The following  JavaScript code enables you to print part of or a specific section of a web page. I found this very useful code at About.com, just follow the instructions in the link and you should be fine.

By using this code you can allow users to print only specific areas of a web page like ‘coupons’ or ‘business cards’ on an ecommerce site rather than printing the whole webpage. For instance, in the following page, only the dotted area is printed upon clicking ‘print this page’ at the bottom of the page.

<a href=”javascript:print(document)”>print this page</a>

I found other suggestions on the web for this issue like using Shift--3 or Shift--4 or by using the on-screen keyboard: Programs>>Accessories >> accessibility >> onscreen keyboard
click the ctrl and psc, then normal paste. But, I figured the above mentioned keyboard shortcut is the easiest way to do a print screen.

You might want to go through other third party software like WinSnap or MwSnap to take a screenshot with some useful control options.
