The printscreen key appears to be doing something, you get the mini freeze associated with a screenshot, but no screenshot saved anywhere.
First off, when you press the printscreen key in any game, program or even just on your desktop, a screenshot is taken and stored in your PC's memory. You can't see this screenshot until you open a graphics/paint program and paste it in (ctrl+V). Here's how it works:

1. Press printscreen
2. Open Windows own Paint application, every Windows version has it since forever.
3. Press Ctrl+V and save the file in whichever format you like

Also, you can only have one screenshot taken by printscreen at a time, everytime you press printscreen a new shot is taken and the one before it is deleted. That's why I like to use Steams own built in screenshot function, just press F12 and it creates a .jpg file for your screenshot and you can take as many as you like without having to do the above mentioned stone-age procedure. You can also upload your Steam screenies to your very own Steam screenshot gallery and share it with friends, that's what I do. Phew!
