print screenshot to a printer in a single step
« on: June 18, 2013, 05:54 PM »
When I hit prn scrn a window pops up. I can then click "Print Image" to print the screenshot to a printer.
Is there a hot key that I can use to do that in a single step instead of two steps?

This is a good question.

The answer is: sort of.

Right now, you can't set up a custom hotkey in screenshot captor itself to tell it to take a screenshot and then print it.. Though allowing these kinds of custom hotkeys is something I do plan on adding.

However, what you can so is go to the "Post-Capture Options" tab and check the box labeled "Auto print" to have it automatically print every screenshot, and then on the "Interface Options" tab choose "After Capture Show: Stay Minimized".  With those settings, when you take a screenshot it will automatically be printed while the program will stay out of your way in the system tray.

thanks your your response. It worked. I found those tabs in "Edit / preferences"
