Although there Is a 'Print Screen' key on the keyboard (not always marked as such), it's the F13 Key, the usual Screen Snapshot combination is option(the key with the apple symbol or four-looped symbol) together with the Shift key and the 3 key simultaneously. That is, unless you have preprogrammed your Function keys at the top. Also check that your keyboard is appropriate to the Country of origin. Ie if you run a US System, select the system profiler and you should be able to see which you have, match them together by changing the keyboard layout to US and it should work as labelled.

The questioner has a PC >And has a Mac keyboard plugged into it. >The Mac keyboard does not have a Print Screen key.

Specifically, on Windows compatible keyboards, you will notice Print Screen is an actual button. On the Mac keyboards no button is assigned or labelled that way.

I have same problem now 4 years later from your original post and i solve the problem like this. Follow these instructions in order to map the F13-F15 keys on an Apple USB keyboard to the functions, Print Screen, Scroll Lock, and Break commonly found on PC keyboards: 1. On your PC, copy the following lines into a text file. REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Control Keyboard Layout] 'Scancode Map'=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,46,E0,5F,00,46,00,5E,00,37,E0,5D,00,00,00,00,00 2.

I admit that I'm obsessive, but I have a stack of cheap/free Mac USB keyboards around and only one PC USB keyboard, and I work with both PC and Mac on a KVM switch. Setting the record straight, USB was a Microsoft standard, and the first computers to have it were PCs, but it didn't become universally accepted in the PC world until, ironically, Apple switched over from ADB. (Yes, I have a bigger stack of PS2 keyboards than Mac USB, and no I have never gotten any of them to work with a PS2 to USB adapter) First off, there are different Mac USB keyboards. I have the following which work and are recognized by a PC. At least by WinXP (sp3): Model A1048 (ca 2003), all white 'G4' with Eject, no Power key Model M7803 (ca 2000), black keys on silver 'monochrome G3', Eject I also have an M2452 (1998) 'Grape G3' keyboard with Power/no Eject, but the PC doesn't recognize it any more than it does a PS2 keyboard with a USB adapter. I've tried all of the key combinations in this weblog with both the A1048 and M7803 and NONE of them work. I even took the M7803 (which is the most PC-like) and tried 3,4, F12, F13, F14 and F15, each alone and then with each and every combination of Control, Alt, Mac-Command (4-Leaf-Clover) and Shift - yes, all 16 combinations - and none of them worked. Then for good measure I tried the Help, Home, Page Up/Down, End, Delete, all three Sound Volume and Eject, both alone and with Control and MacCommand+Control and none of those worked either. Though Claudiu's remap.reg fix did not work either (I did the above test with the A1048 before and after, and the M7803 after his reg update), it's probably just a matter of some tweaking for different keyboard models and keymaps to get it to work. In the meanwhile, I'm using 'On-Screen Keyboard' until I (or someone else like Claudiu) can go and lookup the code/keymap for specific Mac keyboards and how they map to the PC keyboards. Thanks and Mahalos! At least for me, with an IBM Thinkcentre or a Dell Dimension 4600, both running 32 bit Win XP Pro with all the latest updates installed and using any one of the following Mac USB keyboards: Model A1048 (ca 2003), all white 'G4' with Eject, no Power key Model M7803 (ca 2000), black keys on silver 'monochrome G3', w/ Eject M2452 (1998) 'Grape G3' keyboard with Power/no Eject, and no F13 or F14 (or any function key greater than F12 for that matter) What does work: AppleKeys2 - Go to and download Applekeys 2 and use F13 to print screen. (from 'remotepress' above) On-Screen Keyboard - Of course you have to have it as the foreground program, with the 'psc' key in a visible area of the screen to get the mouse cursor to it, but, hey, it works and you don't have to download it.
