Any of the apps mentioned above are great for screenshots and if you have one of those apps installed you might as well use it to do screenshots, but if you do not want to install an app that takes up precious space I recommend using:

Apple Screenshot Enabler 1.0
Repository URL: http://repository.ripdev.com/
Site: http://ripdev.com/
Enables the built-in screen shotting capabilities. Discovered by RiP Dev. For 1.1.3 and newer.

It does not install an app but instead modifies a plist file to enable the built in OS screenshot feature on the phone. Once enabled all you do is flick the mute switch while holding the home button. “On mute” or “off mute” doesn’t matter as long as it is being switched from one mute mode to the other. You will see the screen go blank white then reappear. It puts the screenshot into your camera roll.

Note: It makes a tif image that is about twice the size of the jpg files the camera makes but it can be off-loaded to your computer using the same method you choose for your photos.

And for the third time…

Go to /private/var/root/Media and delete DCIM folder if there is any (backup any photos that might be there).

Then open Terminal or whatever else you use for SSH and type in next

ln -s /private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM /private/var/root/Media/DCIM
