No print screen?

Since upgrade (new installation) from 16.3 to 17.3 I an no longer able to use "print Screen"
Used to by "ctlr & prt sc" keys but nothing happens. was fine before upgrade.
Any thoughts?

P.S. is 17.3 a beta version of some sort as Im having all kinds of niggles with it that I didnt used to get like Not fully powering pc off, odd intermittent keyring and password. etc etc.

I came to Zorin with 17.1, so I'm not familiar with the functionality you had at 16.3. I do know that screenshotting has the following default shortcuts:


You can change these as you please in settings > keyboard > keyboard shortcuts > screenshots.

I've also found 17.3 slightly dicier than 17.1, but in my case some of that is down to issues with the installer.

Zorin OS 17 is the first Zorin OS edition to default to Wayland.

Due to incompatibilities with Gnome-Screenshot tool and Wayland, Gnome developed a new integrated screenshot tool that is part of the gnome shell - and it has reduced functionality.

That's the ticket thanks!
"Shift+Print SC" does just what I want.
Simple change of button!

Ill also take a look at what wayland is etc. And how it might make things different!
