At some point last week I managed to change a setting on PrintKey 2000 that makes it so I get an instant screen shot when I hit the PrtScn key, without going through the settings. Now I want the settings menu back so I can do specific rectangles, etc, and I can't get back in to change it. Any suggestions?

I have installed the application and the only way to change the hotkeys is through the Hotkey menu. Start the application, then right click it on the System Tray and choose Open. When opened, it will also capture a screenshot of the desktop. Go to HotKey > Setup and assign other keys or change them as you need.

No, PrintKey2000 doesn't work with Linux or Mac. There are no downloads for these platforms, but you can either use similar applications or one of the ones mentioned by you as well.
For example, Greenshot is for Windows only while Snagit can be installed on Mac as well in form of a trial.
An alternative would be Instantshot for Mac. I've tested the application and it works very well. Download it through the following website: https://www.techsmith.com/download/snagit/
To enable printing, first make sure the printer is set to default. You can do this by right clicking it in the Printer's area in Control Panel. Once it has been set up, access settings and Define Hotkeys then each time the hotkeys will be pressed, the application will capture and start printing.

If I press Alt prtsc, the whole screen prints directly on the printer. I do not get the options to choose rectangle etc.

With Windows11, I overcame that problem by going to Settings/System/Display, and, under Scale and Layout, changing it to 125% or 100%.
