Mary,
First, here is a link to a printer calibration image. I suggest you use the one at the bottom right - the one with all the baby pictures at the bottom OR the one at the top right.
Link is
http://www.inkjetart.com/custom/These images should display on your monitor and print from photoshop with the same relative image quality. The images are useful because they contain a lot of things that we can readily recognize as being right/wrong. On my system, what displays on screen, prints the same way - because the screen id profiled with a Spyder 3 profiling system.
Secondly, the print screen.
Depends on your OS - and I don't think you have posted that yet. Inn WinXP, it is press the Print Screen button on your keyboard. You can then go to Photoshop Elements and a File, New, Image from Clipboard and the screenshot is open to Elements as a picture. You can select crop to the relevant area, do a Save for Web and downsize it a post to the thread.
If you don't have XP, please post your OS or give it a shot and see what happens.
