What's the point of this comment? I'm clearly taking longer to voice my frustration here, than the extra step of working around this issue would have taken me a hundred times in aggregate. Microsoft heard the complaint, acknowledged it, and then disappeared, ignoring MULTIPLE requests for 3 years (and counting). "Great!" I thought, "It's 3 years later, this must be fixed, let me scroll I was excited to see that someone from Microsoft committed to getting this bug out to his team. In the process of looking for a solution, I stumbled into this thread. But I don't want to work around it, and shouldn't have to - print is an obvious feature for a tool like I *know* how to work around it, I'm proficient with Photoshop, etc. It's interesting - I'm not a technet user (not entirely clear on what that is actually).īut I was googling for a solution to the lack of print as a feature in snipping tool. It already prints and saves to a variety of file formats. Perhaps what's really wanted would be MS Paint with the ability to capture portions of the screen. That's where those other tools excel already. I think typically you'd want to add some annotation such as arrows, highlighting, caption text, or to include the screen capture inside a document already being edited. Those other tools exist already, so why should MS redevelop the wheel? This tool does exactly what it should do, and as a bonus includes a few basic markup tools (the quality of which is beyond the It ain't Photoshop - it ain't even MS Paint. Even for full-screen capture at 1920x1200 resolution, you're still looking at only 6.5" x 4" on a printed page. Want to resize and resample? That's way beyond this little tool-let. At 300dpi, it would end up being about 2" x 2" - a little box in the middle of the page (or worse, top-left corner). Plus, think about how a typical 600圆00-pixel window capture would look when printed. There are some rudimentary markup tools, but what we choose to do with that graphic afterwards is up to us. We can save the captured picture to one of a few graphics formats, and The program fills a very small niche: it was designed to capture a portion of the video display to the clipboard, no more, no less.
Same reason it doesn't have a native "save to PDF" feature or "save to Word" feature. As a software developer (*not* employed by Microsoft) it is perfectly clear to me why the Snipping Tool in Windows 7 doesn't have a print feature.
