One possibility you should check is to see if your keyboard is failing. Try using a different keyboard to see if the problem persists.

Hello,
When trying to use ctrl+p to print from any application in windows 7 nothing happens. This started a few weeks ago and I have removed any software that was installed after that point. One thing I did find was if I press both ctrl buttons and p then release one ctrl button the print screen comes up. I have tried REMing the Hkey registry for both local machine and current user and nothing has worked so far. Please help!!

Is the built-in keyboard disabled when the USB keyboard is connected?
Does the problem persist when using the On-screen keyboard? Control Panel> Ease of access.
