It works on Ubuntu 17.04 with Unity, however neither via upgrade or a fresh install, does the screenshot keyboard button work on Ubuntu 17.10.
Can anyone tell me why or how to fix it?

The PrtScr/Print key still works – but now (U17.10) has different actions bound to it. Go to
Settings → Devices → Keyboard
and scroll down to Screenshots. It shows
If that's sufficient for you and you can remember these keystrokes, then you are done. Else refer to @pomsky's answer and set up a shortcut to launch gnome-screenshot --interactive instead.

Now once you press PrintScreen, gnome-screenshot captures a screenshot and saves it in ~/Pictures/ without asking the user.
You may set a custom keyboard shortcut to launch gnome-screenshot in interactive mode, i.e. when the following window appears providing the user some choices:
and the options to save or discard the screenshot, chose location to save etc. after capturing.
To set the custom shortcut follow the steps from this answer.
