How can I get the "Print screen" key to work? No answer, does nothing.

Tried ALT-IMPR. SHIFT-PRINT SCREEN, CTRL-print SCREEN. SCREEN, MS LOGO - PRINT SCREEN. Nothing happens. This has been the case with all versions of windows and all the computers I've owned. I must be missing something.

Funny how not book them a computer I mention this button.

The Print Screen (only or ALT + PRTSCR) button does not actually print.  What it does is copy the screen to the Clipboard.  Then, you paste in a graphical application (paint, which comes with XP, works) and print from the graphical application.

You can also use IrfanView, an application that, among other things, free viewing of files screen captures and prints them out then.
