INT 05h (5) Print Screen
Prints the current screen contents to the first parallel printer
(LPT1).
This interrupt can be called from within a program as well as by means
of the Shift-PrtSc key combination. The service returns no register
values but sets a status code at memory location 0000:0500h. The
possible values of this status code, and their meanings, are as
follows:
00h Print Screen not called, or operation completed
01h Print Screen currently in progress
FFh Error encountered during most recent Print Screen
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: The cursor position is saved before the Print Screen
is executed and restored upon completion of the
Print Screen.
The Print Screen service runs with interrupts
enabled.
While a Print Screen is in progress, additional
Print Screen requests are ignored.
The DOS GRAPHICS program replaces the normal INT 05h
handler and installs a handler that will print
graphic displays.
