[plug] PrintScreen of death

Plug,
I finally established that pressing the PrintScreen key in an Eterm,
kills the window and everything within it. Upon further
investigation, it's supposedly a "feature" of Eterm to be able to
print the current console to a printer or pipe it somewhere.
Examining closely, Eterm spits back the following message before it
dies:
Eterm: Warning: Running setuid/setgid. Refusing to use custom
printpipe.
sh: lp: command not found
I figure it's because it can't find lp it's dieing and I can't force
it to use something else (like lpr) because its running setgid utmp.
Does anybody know how I can disable this "feature"? I don't like my
terminals dieing on me when I inadvertently hit PrtSc.
Thanks in advance,
Bernard.
