Print Screen Problems (Clipboard Quality?)
Okay, this may be one of the most obscure problems ever. I just had one of the techs call me to ask about this issue. He's at a clients PC and whenever she takes a screen print of anything and prints it out, it looks fuzzy. She can print a document and it looks fine. But if she takes a screen capture of that document and prints it, it's fuzzy. I did some poking around and it even looks fuzzy if you paste it into MSPAINT. I used printkey, and the preview also looked fuzzy.
It looks as though using the 'print screen' button copies an image into the clipboard at 256 colors and a poor resolution. I tried multiple different desktop settings, all with the same result.
Is there anywhere in Windows to change the properties of the clipboard? (That question even sounds stupid...)

Try pasting it into a photoediting program instead of paint. I just tried it and it showed in the picture properties as 24 bit.
Did you try capturing the image using any graphics/photoediting software, like ACDSee, HyperSnap, etc?
If every other software fails to capture the screen right, did you try updating the graphics drivers?
After hitting the Print Screen button do a Start|Run clipbrd.exe
No settings to change but might narrow down where the fizziness takes place.
