Choose Edit/Paste as new image from the top menu.
I always use Ctrl Alt Print Screen, then edit and paste into Paint.
I know I over-egg the pudding but it always works.
...incidentally, most versions of Paintshop Pro have a built in screen capture tool.
Create a new image as big as or bigger than the area you intend to capture
Click File/Import/Screen Capture
This gives you a lot more control over what to capture compared with Print Screen.
I don't have Paint Shop, but, out of interest, I tried it in Photo Shop. It didn't work. I had to do a "NEW" first . (FILE - NEW).

Some apps work just with a Paste without NEWing first. (eg PhotoPlus)
