I also see two "Take a screenshot" (and "Take a screenshot of a window")
shortcuts in the All Settings/Keyboard/Screenshots configuration dialog.

The problem with this is when I try to customize the Print key, the
first entry gets disabled, but the second instance doesn't.

Then when I press the Print key my custom shortcut doesn't get invoked.

I wanted to map the Print key to 'gnome-screenshot --interactive' so I'd
get the dialog allowing me to  select how to take the screenshot and
where to put the result.  However, I could not remap the Print key to
the program I wanted to use except by the following convoluted
workaround:

  - Create a Custom Shortcut entry for Print - I gave it a name of "Screenshot" 
and Command of "gnome-screenshot --interactive"
  - click in the accelerator part of the new entry and press the Print key to 
assign it to the new shortcut.  This results in a dialog that says that Print 
is already assigned and allowing me to confirm that I want to disable the old 
mapping and set it to the custom shortcut
  - However, the Print key doesn't perform the custom action and when you go to 
the "Screenshots" shortcut category you'll see that the first entry for "Take a 
screenshot" is disabled, but the  second entry isn't.  There seems to be no way 
to delete or disable the second entry,
  - click on the second entry's key mapping (Print) to allow you to change it; 
press some key sequence that's otherwise unused (I used Ctrl-Shift-Alt-P) to 
reassign the shortcut.  The Print key now seems to do nothing (it still doesn't 
invoke the custom shortcut set up in the first step)
  - go back to the custom entry and configure it to use the Ctrl_Shift-Alt-P 
key (or whatever you chose in the previous step).  You'll now be prompted to 
confirm that there's a conflict and you'll have the option of disabling the 
other "Take a screenshot" setting.
  - now both of the "Take a screenshot" settings in the Screenshots category 
are disabled, if you reconfigure the custom shortcut to be mapped to the Print 
key it will now work.
