Try this:

1. select the menu you want to show and press the left mouse button keeping
it held down.
2. with your other hand hold down the alt key
3. without releasing the mouse button move your hand holding the mouse to
the prtscrn button and press it!

May take a couple of goes to do the last bit without releasing the button
but it will take a clipped picture of the open window + menu. However if
the menu extends outside the window you have to try the other suggestions.
