Using the Print Screen button copies a screenshot of your whole screen to your PC's clip-board. If you use alt and Print Screen it copies just the active window.

You nowpaste this image into an image editing program, the most common in use would be Windows "Paint".

Start Paint up, click Edit then Paste. Now you can edit it if you like.
Now you can print the image, or if saved to hard drive, insert into a document and print.

If you wish to save it, select Save As, and choose a lower resolution like .jpg as a full colour Bitmap (.bmp) will be a huge file.

If you use Adobe of another imaging program you can be a little more creative with the image.
