I need to disable PrintScreen Option from the Keyboard. For this, i have used AWT events and am able to capture all key-strokes. However, the "PrintScreen" button do not yeild anything. I need to get that. I have looked into the web, and have seen similar codes like the one i have used, but that doesn't work either.

Is there any other way out ?

This is an annoying thing to do to the hapless user. As an alternative to this kind of blatent jack-booted thuggery, I saw one applet that had a little animation flying over the artwork it displayed, so that if you did do a printscreen, the image would always somewhat obscured.

Trapping OS-level keyboard operations such as this will require system hooks in Windows (which you can't do with Java) and probably similar things in other OSes.
