I have inserted animation into my slide but when the show ends, I want the
entire slide to stay on the screen instead of going black and instructing you
to hit the Esc key. I also want my users to be able to print it off
(complete).
 
There is a setting under the Tools Menu > Options > View for End With
Black Slide. Uncheck this so that you won't get the black slide. However,
that isn't really what you want, and it only applies to your computer.
Instead, you want to eliminate the automatic slide transition on the last
slide. Go to the last slide and choose Slide Transition from the Slide
Show menu. Uncheck the box for Automatically advance.

For printing a single slide users who are using the PowerPoint Viewer can
hit ctrl-P to print. If you only want them to print one slide, you'll
have to give them instructions for which slide to choose from the dialog
box. If they are not using the PowerPoint Viewer, I think they will have
to go to Normal View to print the slide.

You can control this on your own computer but not on other users' computers.
Choose Tools, Options, View tab, uncheck "End with black slide"

For other users, if you set your show to Kiosk mode, you can add your own slide
at the end and don't give them any way to advance past it other than ending the
show. That way they should never see the unwanted black screen.

If they're using the full PowerPoint and not the viewer AND if their macro
security settings permit it, a macro can print the presentation from an action
button on one or more of your slides. Otherwise, your users will have to print
manually.
