SUMMARY
SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN cannot be used to print a graphics display screen with a laser printer using the MS-DOS Graphics command in version 4.0. However, Hewlett-Packard (HP) does provide a utility called HPSCREEN that supports screen dumps from HP Vectra, IBM PC/XT/AT/PS2, and 100-percent Vectra compatibles. The following display adapters and printers are supported:   Display Modes       Printers
