The Windows keyboard shortcut Ctrl P will perform the Print action. Print is a global keyboard shortcut that is usually located in the File menu. This keyboard shortcut for Print is available in Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. The same keyboard shortcut may also be available with other versions of Windows.
To everyone still having a problem with Print Screen, and none of the proposed solutions work: I have your answer!
I recently bought a brand new laptop, and I'm running both Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 7. I'm a Simmer, and I was getting more and more frustrated that I could not capture the screen on my Sims game so I can share my CC. Nothing anyone on here said worked, and then I found this.
Open up you program, press on your Print Screen (Prt Sc) button, open up a paint program, paste your image (Ctrl + C) and voilà! It should work! ^_____^

I'm using the Snipping Tool on Windows 7. When I click on the Snipping Tool's Properties in the Start menu, I can assign a shortcut like Ctrl+F12 to it
Can I also assign only the key PrintScreen as a shortcut for Snipping Tool?
Not without installing special software. System hot keys must be in the following format:
Not all keys may be used as the last key, so just experiment to find what works. Unfortunately Print Screen doesn't. I just use Ctrl-alt-p

Using Windows 10, Win+PrtScrn will do a full shot and save to your pictures folder. Also, Ctrl+PrtScrn will let you make a selection.

First I used this AutoHotkey script to capture the PrtScr key and emulate a Win+PrtScr keypress, which then runs Snipping Tool for you:
Put a link to the script in the Start Menu/Startup folder to launch it at every startup.
But then I got tired of not being able to customize where the files were being saved. So I abandonded Snipping Tool and installed Greenshot instead (2.5Mb), which can be customized a bit more. Greenshot is free as opposed to SnagIt mentioned in another answer.

If you want print screen key to trigger a snip-like prompt, you could try using Snagit. It, by default, does what you are seeking.
Pluraleyes 4 windows. You can't alter the behavior of the print screen key without 3rd party software. If you're looking for a free tool to let you do more than just plain screenshots, check out Lightshot: https://app.prntscr.com/en/index.html
I have it assigned to the Pause key, but you can have it use Print Screen instead.

Onedrive seems to be another culprit for grabbing the printscreen key, I pulled this from sourceforge:
I've fixed it by myself. First problem was OneDrive from Microsoft where I had activated the auto store screenshot in tab 'Auto save' in the settings. 'Automatically save screenshots I capture to OneDrive'. After unchecking this option directly Dropbox asked for activating this feature for itself but after denying it I was able to reassign the PrintScreen key to Greenshot! Would it be possible for Greenshot to tell the user which application has beens registered for the PrintScreen key? So the user is not tapping in the dark like me. Also it's very hard to find anything via google. Most hits points to DropBox but I know that I didn't had activated the feature at Dropbox. But OneDrive I didn't though about or had forgotten it because it had ask once after computer installation and I didn't used the feature activly..
