Help with doing a print screen

Ok guys, I know on a desktop you can do a print screen. I dont know what its called on the mobile phones, but I need to do some print screens on my phone to capture and print out text messages. Is there anything that you guys could recommend? I just need to be able to print text messages as they appear. Oh is there a program that would allow you to open and print them from the computer?

Thanks in advance!

There is a program called Shake and Save that will take screen shots on your Windows Mobile when you shake it. It will let you save the screen shot in several different formats (.jpg, etc.)

I use the software Screen Capture, it can't bind a key with my phone, but I use the Timer setting where it take a screenshot after a specify amount of seconds.

The Shake and Save seems to be an unorthodox method, but I'll try it out too.

Sweet, thanks for the info, let me find the program now. Is there a shake and tilt program for music and pictures?

Here's Shake and Save, and here's Screen Capture.

I always use MM also, but I bought a new LT a few months ago & the first time I tried to use MM it froze the LT solid.

After that, all my USB ports stopped working & my phone was not recognized at all.

I have no idea what happened, but after a 1/2 hour of screwing with it I gave up & restored the LT to an earlier date. That fixed the problem & I have been kind of leery of trying MM again at this point (& I don't really need it anyway so it's no big deal really)

i installed spb screen capture on my tp2. but can you not change the settings on it like specify which folder to save the screen capture into? it gives you that box but when i click on it, it wont give me any choices. also, i can't get a button assigned for the screen capture. i have stock ROM...is that the reason why i can't change these settings?
