Have PrintScr Actually Print the Screen

The PrintScreen button on most computers is ignored.  People don't know what it does or how to use it.  On most computers hitting it just copies the current screen to the clipboard.  This allows you to paste it in a image editing software or documents, etc.  But what if you wanted to actually print the screen and not go through the hassle? Purrint is a little utility that sits in your system tray, and when you hit PrntScr allows you to click 1 button to either save it as an image, or actually print it out to your printer.  Very useful, quick, and lite on resources.
