Taking screenshot in mint 20.also printer problems

[simple person]

Re: screenshot which I wanted to accomplish...

Went to mint menu>all applications> accessories.......looked for take screenshot but could not find it.

Another instruction said to go left- alt+print-screen. But no idea what that means.

While speaking of printing, I can get online, find printer, but when I press print, nothing happens.

Help please..i think these are really really simple problems so posting two in one thread,

Thanks

you need to use the Alt and PrtSc keys at the same time - most likely for your printer you need to install the drivers for it

You can try Flameshot (not Flathub ) from the Software Manager, works much better than the long gone shutter.

click on menu....type in Gnome Screenshot.......right click on the 'gnomescreenshot' and select 'add to panel'

Details of your printer?

I have no idea why you'd believe that.

New Shutter update, 0.95, is here!

New Shutter update, 0.95, is here! It brings the following:

Because it was dropped from Linux Mint 20, anyway Flameshot is much better.

If your Firefox has updated to Firefox 88.....follow my post linked below to take a screenshot.

Screenshot in Firefox 88

for those who knew and used the 'take a screenshot' feature which was placed in Firefox's page actions. Page actions was/is the three little horizontal dots located in the toolbar...or sometimes just inside the address bar...

And are you connecting by USB or wi-fi?

In M20 if you want a full screen shot then just the prt/scr [print screen] button on its own should work

 

[Brickwizard]

M20, printing by wi-fi
switch on printer, make sure the wi-fi is switched on [on the printer]
from lappy/desktop/pad click on the wi-fi icon [usualy on the bottom right] look down the available list to find your printer, click on the printer after a few seconds it should say connected to XXX, you may need to put in a password [This is the printer wi-fi password [NOT tour home router one] and it should connect, If it is a common printer M20 on your lappy/desktop/pad should recognise it and install the linux drivers itself.
