Is there any standard way (a key combination
perhaps) to print a text screen in
unix/linux like the use of
<<print screen>> key under dos?


PS: i am new in linux..

I'm using Fedora and Mandrake with both KDE and Gnome as my GUI's. My print screen key works the same as it does under windows.

When I press "print screen", a screenshot is captured to the clipboard. When I press ALT + Printscreen, the active window is captured to the clipboard. Then I can open the Gimp and paste the picture.

Is that what you meant? ....or do you mean you're not using X and you want to print the command line text? If that's the case, I don't know the answer.
