Screen Capture + Print is a free portable screenshot utility for Windows. Unique thing about it is that after a screencap is created you’re gonna be offered with three options of how you want to output the image. One of those options is to directly print it using your printer, which basically means that you can literally print your desktop using Screen Capture + Print.
The other two options are the standard clipboard output, this is where screenshot goes when you press the Print Screen button, and another one that allows you to save the created screen cap as an image.
