Printkey 2000 – An Oldie but a Goodie

Printkey 2000 is really just another screen printing tool. It’s a bit dated in its design and I’ve had it crash on me a couple of times over the years, but it has some great features that are hard to find in other screenshot apps. Here are some of the reasons people may still use PrintKey 2000 still:

  • Print button – yup you can print your screenshots for quick screen grabs on the go.
  • Configurable hotkeys – lets you define what keys you want to use to grab a screen print.
  • Adjust and re-size screenshots – Control brightness contrast and re-size screen grabs right in the tool.
  • Configurable grab options – Define your favorite hotkey to take an object, full screen or defined area print.

Printkey 2000 is free, but the download site is kind of shady. That’s why I’m re-posting the software here:

[download PrintKey2000 v.5.10]

NOTE: Printkey 2000 does not work well on Windows 10. I get lots of comments about this, but there is no fix because Printkey is simply too old to work well on Windows 10. The good news is that there are lots of free alternatives to Printkey. One of them is Greenshot. Greenshot is a versatile screen capture utility similar to Printkey that’s available for free.

    David,
    I just want to thank you for making this available. Some of us old-timers appreciate those who recognize the need to keep things simple!

    Thanks for providing. I’ve used this since about 2000 I guess. Don’t care what people say, this program beets anything MS have come up with. Dated, but works.

      What seems to be the problem? If you had PK2K installed under WIN8.1 I find it best to d/l the programme then wipe the existing app from your computer, restart the computer and re-install from the new download. AS i’ve said elsewhere, this is a seriously useful proggie, no matter (like mysef) the question of age.
