SUMMARY
=======

SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN cannot be used to print a graphics display screen with a
laser printer using the MS-DOS Graphics command in version 4.0. However,
Hewlett-Packard (HP) does provide a utility called HPSCREEN that supports screen
dumps from HP Vectra, IBM PC/XT/AT/PS2, and 100-percent Vectra compatibles. The
following display adapters and printers are supported:

   Display Modes       Printers
   ----------------------------

   VGA                 LaserJet Series II, IID, IIP, III
   EGA                 LaserJet, LaserJet Plus, LaserJet 500 Plus,
                       LaserJet 2000
   MCGA                DeskJet, DeskJet Plus
   MDA                 PaintJet, PaintJet XL
   HGC                 QuietJet, QuietJet Plus
   MMC                 ThinkJet, RuggedWriter

The GRAPHICS command in MS-DOS versions 5.0 and later supports screen dumps to
most of the printers mentioned above and other printers not supported by MS-DOS
4.0.
