Karen,
This the approach I use to print a portion of the screen but you can easily
capture the entire screen, This is the meat of the code I use:
-- Using the latest R:Base Screen Capture
-- Create unique Employee Utilization variable with User ID as part of the name
so it is unique for each user and delete the file to make sure a fresh one is
generated
SET ERROR MESSAGE 2077 OFF
SET VAR vCommand =('DELETE' & .vuser_id + 'EU.JPG')
&vCommand
SET ERROR MESSAGE 2077 ON
SET VAR vImageEU = (.vuser_id + 'EU.JPG')
-- Capture a portion of the screen
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM 'CAPTURE_FROM_WINDOW|365,228,915,625' &vImageEU
-- The code in the next line works capturing the entire screen
-- PROPERTY RBASE_FORM CAPTURE_FROM_WINDOW &vImageEU
)
PRINT emp_prod_daily OPTION SCREEN|Window_State MAXIMIZED
…
In my case, I capture a portion of the screen displayed in a Web Browser
inside the form and then print the image using a report where the variable is
displayed as a variable image that you can scale as needed; in your case, you
might need/want to set the report as landscape to better fit the screen.

Doug: when I was looking through my notes originally, I found this example:
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM 'CAPTURE_FROM_SCREEN|23, 24, 934, 800'
'c:\Screen_AreaCapture.bmp'
I was thinking that perhaps I could capture the form size, save to a jpg,
create an "empty" report template that would print the jpg image. I haven't
tried it yet, but I will (and report the results to the list) if the easy
print-screen cannot work

Karen - would the CAPTURE and PASTE properties work?
You might have to create an image control for pasting and send it to the printer
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM CAPTURE_FROM_WINDOW 'CLIPBOARD'
PROPERTY <Component ID> PASTEFROMCLIPBOARD 'TRUE'
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM CAPTURE_FROM_WINDOW 'CLIPBOARD'
Captures an image of the current window and places the content in the
clipboard. The entire window, or a specified area can be captured.
Examples:
-- to capture full form to a BMP file
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM CAPTURE_FROM_WINDOW CLIPBOARD
-- to capture part of the form to a JPG file
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM 'CAPTURE_FROM_WINDOW|12,12,134,300' CLIPBOARD
PROPERTY <Component ID> PASTEFROMCLIPBOARD 'TRUE'
Pastes data from clipboard to the focused field. This parameter is supported
for DB/Var Edit/Memo/Image controls.
PROPERTY ComponentID PasteFromClipboard TRUE
You can also paste data to the focused field using:
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM PasteFromClipboard TRUE
I haven't tried any of this, just found the properties that might steer you in
a direction.

If the form is that large couldn’t you creat a report that looks like the
form. Just save changes before printing.

I want to put a "print this form" button on a very large form to send a
print-screen to my printer. These are the only options I know that I can use,
but only a portion of the form will print. Any other options I don't know
about to shrink the picture onto one printer page, or another way to do it?
