    unlike my touchscreen tablet that has got a printscreen icon at the bottom right as a default setting (it prints your screen even if you just only breath on it), I just found out that my laptop has no printscreen button...I don't see it anywhere! How can I replace that function?

    It'll be there somewhere. Mine is the next key along from F12, but you have to press SHIFT to get it.

      I use the "Snipping Tool" on Windows 7. This enables you to select any area of the screen and to save it as a jpg file.

      Alternatively a quick Internet search suggests that implementation of the print screen function on laptops is manufacturer dependent and you need to consult the user guide for your laptop.

      If all you want to do is print the page you are currently viewing then Ctrl+P should do it.
      Hold down the Ctrl key while pressing "P"

      thank you for the suggestions! Believe it or not it was at the top right somewhere, same button that says END in white letters, it also says PRTSC in very fainted grey letters, almost invisible.

      If you want to printscreen just the box/window you have open you can use Alt (bottom left of keyboard) in conjuction with PRTSCN.
