I don't think there is a [print] key anymore anywhere... "PrtSc" is
something else and in general never should reach emacs because it is
intended to take screenshots; so the desktop or window manager should
intercept it before.
It's a key as any other key too. For those using refurbished hardware
it's not as uncommon as you might think.
I remap it to whatever seems useful (but then, I remap also caps lock,
because I deem it useless, so I'm weird ;-)
