Printer Display Screenshot Tutorial

Here's the tutorial in English, updated to reflect the actual account name as "biqu":

1. Connect to the Raspberry Pi

  • Open a terminal (Linux or Mac) or use an SSH client (like PuTTY for Windows).

  • Connect to your Raspberry Pi using the following command:

    ssh biqu@<Raspberry Pi's IP address>
  • Enter your password to log in.

2. Install Necessary Software

You need to install scrot (a lightweight screenshot tool):

sudo apt update
sudo apt install scrot

3. Take a Screenshot

  • Run the following command to capture the entire screen:

    DISPLAY=:0 scrot /home/biqu/screenshot.png

    This will save the screenshot as screenshot.png in the /home/biqu/ directory.

4. View and Download the Screenshot

  • Use the scp command to download the screenshot to your local computer:

    scp biqu@<Raspberry Pi's IP address>:/home/biqu/screenshot.png <local path>

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully capture a screenshot from your display.
