[WEB4LIB] Re: BIOS Print/Capture

I found that suggestion listed for Windows 95/98 and tried it.  I tried
<print screen>, <alt><print screen>, and <ctrl><print screen>.  None of
them worked.  Either it has been disabled in Windows 2000, or my printer
set-up is different (HP LaserJet 1100).  I've been looking for a parameter
to set differently, but haven't found it yet.

What *does* work on my Dell Dimension XPS H266 (vintage 1997) is
as follows:

1. Enter Setup
2. When the screen you wish to print is displayed, press the
   Print Screen button.
3. Exit Setup and continue the boot-up process.

Once the boot process resumes, the desired screen is printed.
You'll have to re-enter Setup and repeat the process for every
screen you wish to print.

I haven't tried this on any other PC, so your mileage may vary.
