Arev 2.12 running on a Windows 2000 server LH Service 2.1

Our users do screen prints of screens to network or local printers using the print screen key.

Works on windows 98. Does not work on windows 2000 ro Windows XP work stations. Is there anyway to configure the P/C to do a Print Screen on the Windows 2000 or Windows xp workstations.

Thanks

Ken,

Presumably these machines have LPT1 mapped to a printer. Do the Print Screens work if you enter "PDISK PRN" from TCL after the print screen was done? Do other print jobs from AREV work?

Yes P/C's have printers mapped or attached.

Other arev jobs print ok.

It appears the print screen key on the keyboard does not funciton with windows 2000 or windows xp

Have you tried shift-printScrn?

Property should be modifiable by right clicking on desktop pif object and picking Misc tab

Did you uncheck the PrtSc key in the Misc Properties of the ShortCut to AREV.EXE ?

Also make sure LPT1 is mapped to a printer.

Ken,

My bad. I didn't read carefully enough. I thought you were doing Alt-P (i.e. AREV's print screen). Try what the others have said (i.e. doing Shift-PrtScrn, checking your short-cut settings, etc.) and let us know what happens. I've seen both of these suggestions help our clients.

Go to PCMAG.COM Downloads and look for a free utility called PRINTNOW. I did the beta testing on it years ago - it does what you need.

Optionally, Alt-Prtscr and then Ctrl-V (Paste) into Wordpad, then print, or Ctrl-V into MSPAINT.EXE and then save as a *.BMP or *.JPG, to print from a browser.

If you want an Arev-only solution, you can create a program called, for example, PRINTSCREEN, compile and catalog it, and assign it to a macro key (ALT-M for the macro key menu). Program source follows:
DECLARE SUBROUTINE VIDEO.RW
* capture screen buffer contents
IMAGE='
VIDEO.RW(0,0,(@CRTWIDE-1),(@CRTMAXHIGH-1),'R',IMAGE)

* take original image and insert carriage-return line feeds
NEW.IMAGE='
FOR I=1 TO LEN(IMAGE) STEP 2
   NEW.IMAGE := IMAGEI,1
   IF MOD(I+1,160)=0 THEN
      NEW.IMAGE := (\0D0A\)
   END
NEXT I

* add page break to end of dump, so that each screen has its own page
*NEW.IMAGE := CHAR(12)
PRINTER ON
PRINT NEW.IMAGE
PRINTER OFF

The 160 should really be @CRTWIDE * 2, but as far as I know, @CRTWIDE is 80 in all implementations of Revelation and cannot be reconfigured otherwise. If someone knows otherwise, I'd be interested in a 120 column display. I tried doing this at one point years ago but ran into problems with hard-coded returns in the Arev system software.
