Are you aware that when you hit that button, it doesn't send something to
your printer but puts it in your Clipboard?

I have used print screen correctly many times on another computer. I
understand how it works. It simply does not work on my fairly new HP.
Keys above keypad are:
home over prt sc, and end over sys rq
I have tried every combination I can think of and nothing works.

Did you try Fn+PrtSc ?

That worked! Many thanks. I did not see that procedure recommended anywhere
else.
