Hi there!

What I'm saying is what I have at work, I run with Win 3.1 but if memory
serves me correctly, this is still applicable in 3.0 too

Create a PIF file for your program and enable in the RESERVE KEYS
section all those related to PRINT SCREEN (even those for shift, alt,
and ctrl). It works for me, I too have to use the mainframe of the
company and print out a few stuff...

See You around the 'Net!!
