One thing I've been asked a few times because I'm the resident computer expert of the family is how to print a screen when no printing option seems available. I may be subverting some systems that are not supposed to be printed, but this trick should work when Ctrl + P fails us.
  1. Open the window you'd like to print and make sure it's the active window.
  2. Press Alt + Print Screen
  3. Press Start key (sometimes called Win key) + R (alternatively you can use the desktop Start button and then click Run)
  4. Type "mspaint" and press enter
  5. Once Paint has loaded, press Ctrl + V
  6. Manipulate, print, and/or save your image
