I've used, PrintKey, I didn't like it, and it crashed all the time. I have a couple of additional recommendations from people around me: winsnap & snagit.
What are you all using?

there is one brilliant piece of software called FRAPS. however, fraps can only be used for directX or openGL applications (for example games).

I finally broke down an got Snagit, I've been very happy with it, now I can work with out it. I'm an inhouse Designer/Production Artist/Web Developer. I need to capture web pages, grabbing graphics from various sites for mock-ups etc. As well as for procedures and training materials for various projects.

It has scrolling window capture which is slick, and it includes a basic record screen to AVI function, there other product offers more featurs, but Snagit work, works well for my simple needs. I haven't tried capturing games; but record avi's of Photoshop and office for training and procedure manuals.

It also plays nice with XP home and pro, CA Anti-virus, Sygate and/or Window Firewall.

They update it often and they have greatly improved the print dialog (It now stores my print preferances) which up to the latest update was my biggest complaint.

On the cheap if you need simple screen capture and printing beyound the "Print Screen Key" try mwsnap: http://www.mirekw.com/winfreeware/mwsnap.html

What ^he said about MWSanap. I've been using it for years for all my screencap needs. Everytime I don't think MWSnap won't work for a given project, I dig around and it turns out it will with a little tweaking. It even does mouse pointers which saved me some hacking once.

hypercam/hypersnap and camtasia are decent, but not free

In case when you just want to capture a screen, it's enough of simple screens capturing program. I use Screenshot Studio. As a developer, a found many sweet features in it such as free web server for uploading images, smart regions operation and good annotation instruments that help me documenting bugs during tests.
