Just a suggestion,
Did you try the search function of the forum?
I get 19 pages if I search on “screenshot”

Hi JunkYard
If you have a GUI running, then a screenshot utility should
already be present. Open a terminal and enter:
Code: [Select]
screenshot.shAfter a brief delay, you should see a message that it's done.
This takes a picture of the entire screen.

If you want to take a picture of just one window, install windowshot.tcz.
To use it, click on the Windshot icon.
Your cursor will change from an arrow to a crosshair.
Place the crosshair over the window of interest and left click.
The window must be fully visible to capture all of it.
After a brief delay, you should see a message that it's done.

If you want to select an area of the screen to capture, install grabber.tcz.
To use it, click on the SelectiveScreenshot icon.
Instructions can be found here:

If you need help while its running, press ?. Hit any key to dismiss the help page.

Hi JunkYard
I accidentally posted my last response without the link to
the instructions for grabber.tcz. That post has been corrected.
