Hi!
Look into your GPL-folder. If you're lucky, you'll find a file called "gplss01.pbf". This is the screenshot. Use the program "pbf2tga.exe" which is delivered with GPL (it's also in that folder) to convert the screenshot from pbf- to tga-graphics-format (simply drag the screenshot file over the *.exe-file and let it go). Et voil: There you have you're paper and as much time as you want to read it ;).
Regards
Crash

CAPTURING SCREENSHOTS
There are two methods of taking screenshots during the game. First you can
press ALT-PrintScreen to capture the current screen in the clipboard, allowing
you to exit GPL and paste it into the paint program of your choice. Secondly,
and useful if you want to take a number of different shots at once, pressing
just the PrintScreen button saves sequentially numbered PBF files (gplss##.pbf)
to your GPL directory. After exiting GPL you can then use the included
pbf2tga.exe program to convert them to a usable TGA format.
Are you using a TNT Steve ? Then your .pbf files will be blanks, ignore them.
When you hit PrintScreen(or Alt-PrintScreen, not sure, try both) it saves it to
your clipboard, one at a time only. If your not familiar with the functions of
the clipboard, read up on it in Windows help.

As you can see from the posting time, it was me with 21 minutes ahead ;)).
But I saw that our two answers dindn't really help you :(.
I suggest (as some others did) that you use a third party snapshot program. You might get such thing as freeware for download on some freeware-archive like Tucows.
