I am trying to help a friend who is an artist with her website. She would
like to make sure no one can print or copy her pictures of her paintings. How
would I go about doing this?

Ever seen a book in a library? Notice the copyright in the front? Ever
copied a page out of a book in a library with a copyright notice in it? Did
the copyright notice prevent you from copying the page? Does a copyright
EVER protect material from being copied?

Tell your friend that if she doesn't want anyone to copy her pictures, don't
publish them. Ask her the same questions I just asked you.

To elaborate on my reply, here's what Copyright does for you:

It enables you to sue anyone that copies your copyrighted material. Period.

Short Answer: you can't prevent people from saving or
printing images from a website

Anything that is displayed on a web page is saved to the
client computer first, and then it is displayed. The only
way to stop it is to not put it out on the web.

The best thing to do to deter it is to visually degrade the
image.

Superimpose the web site address (using a graphics editor) over the pics so
it "ruins" them for those who want a pristine copy. You can also place "copy
right 2005 blah blah" on the pics.
