Apple's documentation says that F14 is "Print Screen" in boot camp. This does not work for me. I have a new iMac with the latest Apple keyboard. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

How are you testing whether it works or not? In XP, Print Screen does different things, depending on which control character you use it with. But no matter which you use it with, you should have some sort of screen image on the clipboard ready to paste. Try pasting in Paint to see if there's anything there.

The Paint method is what I was using to test. I knew something was wrong because normally when I push Print Screen while playing Lineage 2 it takes a screenshot and saves it to one of the game's folders. But nothing is happening for me. Looking through Apple's support forum, though, there was several others complaining about loosing Print Screen functionality with the latest Leopard drivers.

It isn't just Print Screen not working for me, though. I don't seem to have any F keys functioning. Maybe I'll try reinstalling the drivers next time I'm booted up in XP.

Note my thread about Fn + Delete not working in Boot Camp, which seems related to your PrintScreen problem. Are either Fn + Delete or Fn + Up/Down invoking Forward Delete or PgUp/PgDn?
