FA - how to print

[David Conner]

Hi folks,
I've seen the question repeatedly asked re: how to print from thje FA, so
I'll pass along a method that works for me.

I have the FA installed on several different computers.  On some I can
print with no problem.  On others it doesn't work ... I don't know why.
When I can't get it to print the normal way I use a FreeWare utility called
PrintKey ver 5.10.  It allows me to simply press the "Print Screen" key and
a window pops up allowing me to select whatever part of the screen I want
to print and send it to the printer.  Works with the FA and most everything
else, under most every version of Windows.  I've used it with Win 98, NT
and 2000.  I've heard it works with ME and XP, but don't know for sure.
PrintKey is described briefly below and here are a couple of website
addresses where it can be downloaded.

ver 5.10 is not the latest version and apparently is no longer distributed
thru the official website.  I found the web sites listed above by doing a
search w/Google.


There is a newer (current) version called PrintKey-Pro ver 5.03 which costs
$20.  I haven't tried it.  The official website for it is

Happy printing!
I'm only sending this to the main Q-list, but I think it would interest
folks on other sub-lists as well.  Would someone please forward it to them?
