What is the best way to screen capture web page for printing?
I have Windows 10, Chrome browser. I went to my online banking site, and had a God awful time trying to print out the bank balance and list of transactions. Yes, you can download it into a Quicken format, or Excel, but it was for my elderly mother, who likes the screen layout. Those formats would be hard for her to follow, and I needed to download a .qif file opener. I tried SnagIt, but the .png was teeny tiny. I tried to convert it to PDF, but the print was blurry. Just printing out the page, the type was rather small. If I increased the scale before printing, all the transactions are cut off on the right side of the page.
I Youtubed it, and a Chrome extension was suggested "Awesome Screen Capture". Sounded like the solution, but I was warned that it could change all my bookmarks, other data, and possibly steal my identity, more than has been already. This sounded way too scary for me.
I engaged in the laborious process of Prt-Scrn, pasting into Paint, and printing out a section at a time.
Prt-Scrn used to actually print the screen at one time. This is no longer the case, and for some reason, the transactions don't copy and paste well into Word, as headings paste but not much else.
Why is this so hard? Or, why is this so hard for me?

Hi, I don't know why Prt Scrn doesn't do what it says. I guess I have another problem. But, Snagit captures the scrolling window or whatever, but the image is too small, not clear enough to read.
The above software plug-ins you mentioned come with a warning that they can change your information...I don't know if I am unduly alarmed but they seem like spyware.
I did print out the screen, using the print command, but I can't enlarge the size of the typeface without losing part of the page, and the data along with it.

Nobus, I tried the snipping tool, love it because it is so fast, no spyware, etc. Also, I can highlight deposits in yellow. I enlarged the screen print using Ctrl+, so now she can read the print as well. THanks so much!!!

Again, thanks for a great, quick solution. Any idea why prt-scrn doesn't work, or how I can get it to print? Thanks.
tx for feeback, i'm glad it worked ouit for you
then you can save it, copy paste into word or just print...
just wondered, why print does not work? it should print what exactly is shown on page!
why did you need screen shots?
