Hello,

Try this:

Disable the printscreen key all together by commenting it out in

Code:

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/keymap/keycodes

Printscreen key should be <prsc> = 111; Just put // in front of it and restart X.

Kind regards,

Eric

You'll probably find that the printscreen key has been bound as a hotkey to ksnapshot. Check your hotkey settings in the kde control center.
