Alt+Printscreen is a Windows keystroke, so it is possible Windows will not
let an app override it?...

Subject: [jawsscripts] Assigning a Script to Include the PrintScreen Key

Is it possible to assign a keystroke combination to a script that includes
the PrintScreen key?  When I create a script using the new script dialog and
assign it to the combination Alt + PrintScreen, it will create the following
line into the keymap file:

Alt+PrintScreen=OCRSnapshot
The function works fine if I give it a normal assignment such as
Control+Shift+O.  However, if I include the PrintScreen key into the mix
from the dialog or directly editing the keymap file, the script is not
activated.  

Is this key off limits for some reason?  If so, why will the dialog enter
the key name into the assignment field?  Is it possible to force this
assignment?
