It doesn't work like that in Windows. The Print Screen button by default takes a screenshot of your desktop at that moment.
If you want to print, you need to go to File > Print or hit Ctrl+P (for most programs).

The Print Screen button, only takes a snapshot of the screen. This image is placed into the clipboard, you can open paint and paste the image, and then print it.
Print screen grabs the whole screen, if you are only interrested in the window with the current focus, you can use alt-PrintScreen instead.
You can also paste the clipboard image into any application that supports image editing.
