Print screen doesn't work in fullscreen/exclusive mode, try it in windowed.

Also try ALT-printscreen. This captures only the current window and may even work in full-screen mode (I don't recall). Alternatively FRAPS can capture screenshots and save them automatically with a bindable hotkey. Not sure if this is crippled in the free version though.
