Ubuntu 16.04.01LTS: Screenshot shortcut "prt sc" not working on my HP pavilion dv7

After upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS I've noticed that the normal screenshots shortcuts didn't work anymore. 

Normally: 
  • (prt sc) Print Screen Take a screenshot 
  • Alt + Print Screen Take a screenshot of Window
  • Shift + Print Screen Take a screenshot of an area of screen. Use crosshair to drag and select an area.

However, it seems that I can do:

  • fn + delete to take a screenshot
  • fn + alt + delete to take a screenshot of the active Window
  • fn + shift + delete to take a screenshot of a screen area. 

there might be an elegant solution to this problem, but hey, this works for me just fine, and maybe also for you.
