I need to take snapshot if command prompt window running in full screen mode.

I had tried it using PrintScreen,Ctrl+PrintScreen, Ctrl+Alt+PrintScreen button(s) but nothing seems to work

Also are there any reasons that the print screen button does not work in full screen commandprompt mode? After all, it does for all windows under normal conditions.

In full screen mode all you have is text. There is no graphical `rendering' as such. If you can capture the text, it is enough ... though you can always reconstruct a png image later from the text (if you really have to get an image out of it).
