This are my results, which seems to suggest that the key as such is recognised.
I can also use the "printscreen" key to configure it with the Gnome applet to
define "Keyboard Shortcuts".
KeyPress event, serial 26, synthetic NO, window 0x361,
root 0x64, subw 0x362, time 20138966, (57,36), root:(1713,117),
state 0x10, keycode 111 (keysym 0xff61, Print), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 92
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x361,
root 0x64, subw 0x362, time 20139090, (57,36), root:(1713,117),
state 0x10, keycode 111 (keysym 0xff61, Print), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 92

OK.
What I also noticed (and it may be related) is that I cannot assign the
eurosign to the "5" key. As soon as I enter that in the Gnome Keyboard applet,
Gnome restarts and I cannot login anymore. I have to edit the gconf.xml file an
remove the configuration. Changing my keybord from U.S. English to US intl is
also impossible.

You probably have a keyboard misconfiguration. The first step to
diagnose it is running "xev" from a terminal window. It will show you
the events which are registered by X when you press and release a key.
I get the following for my "PrtSc" key:
KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x281,
root 0x7e, subw 0x0, time 1196949250, (168,-13), root:(219,14),
state 0x0, keycode 111 (keysym 0xff61, Print), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x281,
root 0x7e, subw 0x0, time 1196949427, (168,-13), root:(219,14),
state 0x0, keycode 111 (keysym 0xff61, Print), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
The first thing to check is therefore if the key is also registered as
"Print" on your system. The output of the following two commands
xmodmap
cat /etc/X11/{XF86Config-4,xorg.conf} | awk '/Section
"InputDevice"/,/EndSection/'
will also help to track down the problem.
