I have a pentium 3 computer with windows XP. After rendering one of the
beginning pictures how do I print the image? The print screen key doesn't
seem to work and the various FAQ don't seem to have an answer. The first
answer in file format isn't much help. I just started with POV. Thank you.

POV-Ray has no internal support for image printing. You will need to open
the image you render with POV-Ray in your favorite image viewing/editing
program and print it with that program instead.

By default when you render an image with Povray in Windows, it creates a 
.BMP file that contains the rendered image with the same name as the .POV 
file you rendered.  Since you are using Windows XP, simply use Windows 
Explorer to locate this .BMP file, then right-click on it and select 
"Print".
