Hardcopy is a system-tray-based tool that offers a quick and easy way to print the contents of your screen while in Windows. To send the contents of the entire screen to your printer, just click its icon or press your Print Screen key. If you want to print just the active window, press the Print Screen key while holding down the Alt key. You can also use your mouse to capture individual window components such as toolbars and buttons or cut out sections of the screen. In addition to printing, you can save captures in a wide variety of raster formats. Plus, Hardcopy offers an impressive set of image editing functions such as color and gray-scale conversion; several filters; and zoom, rotation, and flip tools. Other cool features let you insert cursors into screen shots after they've been captured; automatically save captures; and customize the toolbar, pull-down menus, and hotkeys. While this edition of Hardcopy is freeware, you'll have to pay $15 in order to get a version that works with .gif files.
