you can try gimp or if you 're using kde, it has a program called somehting like snapshot..(can't remember exactly).
or try the "import" command, but i'm not too sure about it so do man import and see what comes up

If I hit the "Print Scrn" button on my keyboard, I get a "Save As" dialog box to save my screenshot.png
