If you do a Google search for “disable print screen” you will find some techniques. These fall into two categories: 1) Javascript solutions for intercepting a Print Screen action in web pages, and 2) Windows SDK code for doing the same thing in Windows applications. In theory, you could use a Javascript solution if you modify Infoview, but I don’t think you’ll find anything for CR.
Keep in mind, too, that these solutions are only good for disabling Print Screen while the intended application is active. There’s no way (that I know of) to prevent the user from switching to another application and taking a full-screen screenshot.
Of course a scorched-earth approach would be to modify the Windows registry all on users’ machines to full disable the Print Scrn key.

In addition to Joes comments there are many other applications that can perform screen grabs. They would have to prevent direct / download access to these, also.

You’d have to take everyone’s mobile phone away too.

And poke out their eyes, just in case they had rather a good memory.
