This sometimes becomes a problem since the [PrtScn] button is hard to find in many laptops. In most laptops you will find it at in the screenshot above.
But in some laptops like compaq, hp and acer you have to use the Function [Fn] key along with the [PrtScn] button to make it work. Simply use the [Fn]+[PrtScn] together like you use Ctrl+V etc. This will capture the screen.
