There are a couple of methods
1) alt+prt Scr open paint and paste.
2) right click the top left corner of the DOS window select edit and select all and copy then open paint or notepad/wordpad and paste
Then print.

Press Alt / Printscreen to capture the active window. Then it can be pasted into an editor like word,notepad or word.

Yet another way is to type dir >lpt1. this will port the output which normally goes to the monitor to the printer on LPT1.

forgot about this one.
type dir >c:\list.txt. This will port the output which normally goes to the monitor to a file called list.txt at the root of the c: drive.
