The shortcuts to printscreen don't work, neither <PrintScr> nor <Alt> + <PrintScr>
Menu -> Accessories -> Take Screenshot works as advertised.
Annoying! One more thing to fix.

Re: PrintScreen screenshot shortcut keys not working
Check that you don't have Fn lock active. If that's not it and shortcuts in general are still working:
Menu > Keyboard Shortcuts
and find the screenshot shortcuts and recreate them. Your chosen keyboard map might not actually place PrtScr where you think it is.

Re: PrintScreen screenshot shortcut keys not working
As I wrote the above post, I found a way to fix it:
-> Control Center -> Keyboard Shortcuts
Press +Add and fill in as below:
Apply and select "Disabled", then press the key combination (usually <PrScr> or <Alt>+<PrScr>)
Hope this helps someone. I wonder why these keyboard shortcuts haven't been included in the Mate 19 release

Re: [SOLVED] PrintScreen screenshot shortcut keys not working
That's not the proper solution though. These shortcuts exist by default, you probably just need to update the key combo:
No reason for custom shortcuts.
