HP All-in-One Desktop PC 27-cr0000a (76M59AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

I've been trying to find instructions to "print screen" on my HP All-in-One 27 - I can't find any diagrams showing what the keys with icons do - and would like to have clarity on this.

There is no obvious key to "Print Screen" and I can't find any diagrams within the user guide.

@Poppy2323, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

 

Thanks for reaching out about your HP All-in-One 27-cr0032na PC and the wireless keyboard layout. I understand you're looking for a diagram or instructions to identify the Print Screen key and other icons on the keyboard. Here's how you can take screenshots and understand the key functions:

Print Screen Function on HP Wireless Keyboards

Many newer HP wireless keyboards do not have a dedicated "Print Screen" (PrtScn) key. Instead, you can use Windows 11's built-in screenshot tools:

Option 1: Use Snip & Sketch (Recommended)

  1. Press Windows + Shift + S.
  2. Your screen will dim and a snipping toolbar will appear.
  3. Select the area you want to capture.
  4. The screenshot is copied to your clipboard and can be pasted (Ctrl + V) into apps like Paint, Word, or email.

Option 2: Save Full Screenshot Automatically

  • Press Windows + PrtScn (if available).
  • The screen will briefly dim.
  • The screenshot is saved to:
    Pictures > Screenshots folder.

If your keyboard lacks a visible PrtScn key, try pressing Fn + Windows + Spacebar - this works on some HP models

Understanding Keyboard Icons

HP keyboards often use icons on function keys (F1–F12) for quick actions like:

  • 🔇 Mute
  • 🔊 Volume up/down
  • 💡 Keyboard backlight
  • 🔍 Search
  • 📶 Wireless toggle

You can find a full explanation of these icons and hotkeys here: HP PCs - Keyboard shortcuts, hotkeys, and special keys (Windows) | HP® Support

 

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
