Hit the print screen button.

In Windows, this will copy the current screen to the clipboard.

Paste this into an imaging app.

Print Screen (the button on the keyboard which is what I presume mean by "Print Screen") sends the image to the Clipboard (where you can view it in the Clipboard Viewer if you wish).

You can paste (even without looking at the Clipboard Viewer) from there to any Graphics program, like Paint (part of Windows) and then print the image from Paint.

Thanks!
