I don't think there is one. You might have to remap your keyboard for a Print Screen.

Have you tried F13 ?

assuming the key combination is control+print screen to get a screen capture, then f13 is not working as a replacement for the print screen button.



as for remapping... it does not look like that is an easy task.

Here's WIndows remap utility:

Edit: Oops, that might not work for XP.

Edit: Just check Versiontracker.com and you'll find several remap utilities.

How about fn+F13?

Fn means function.

The fn key is used like a shift key, especially on laptops, to control (typically) hardware functions. So on my MBP, if I press F5, I increase the volume. If I press fn+F5, I get F5. You can switch this behavior in the preferences. I don't have one, but I think the small aluminum Apple keyboards work the same way.
