I just made a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04.
All goes well but I can't take screen-shot with the shortcut print key. In the shortcuts settings the key is recognized.
Previously installed Ubuntu 13.04 and the shortcut worked.

After some research, I found out this is a won't fix bug described in Gnome's Bugzilla.
So the only way to do it is use the screen shot tool with a delay, as described before.
Thanks for the help.
For Unity (up to Ubuntu 17.04)
We need to install CompizConfig Settings Manager (CCSM) to bind Print and Alt + Print to Shutter. Follow these steps:
Install compizconfig-settings-manager
.
Open Dash (press Super) and query for ccsm and hit Enter to run CompizConfig Settings Manager.
Under the General Category, you would find the option called Gnome Compatibility. Click on it (not the Checkbox beside it, ie; keep the checkmark activated).
Now switch to the Commands Tab and modify the text fields as shown in the following image.
Explanation of previous step. You can run
man shutterin terminal to see what are the differentCAPTURE MODE OPTIONSavailable.
- Screenshot command line:
shutter -f- This captures the entire screen. Activated when you press Print. - Window screenshot command line:
shutter -a- This captures the current active window. Activated when you press Alt + Print.
Enjoy taking screenshots with Shutter!!

Dependent on the desktop you use (I don't know, if you use Unity-Desktop or Gnome-Shell or even KDE),there is a different way, how to find the app "screenshot". It is installed by default.
In Gnome-Shell: go to your menu and there go to accessories. There you will find "screenshot".
In Unity: go to the unity-lens and look for all your installed apps. There you should find "Screenshot".
In Cinnamon: go to your menu and there to "accessories" and there to "screenshot"
In KDE: to to your KDE-menu and there to "accessories" and there look for "screenshot".
This app is really easy to handle and lets you save your screenshot in your selected folder. So no problem of taking screenshots in Ubuntu or even LinuxMint.
