I'm running VirtualBox on a Mac, using OS-X as the host and Windows 7 as the guest SO. I need to capture a screenshot in Win7 using PrintScreen or ALT+PrintScreen combination. How do I emulate PrintScreen key on Mac?

You can either use the onscreen keyboard, or a third party app like greenshot(free) or you can use scancodes.

Have been struggling with this since some time on my Mac with a citrix client opening my work Windows machine.

Finally figured a solution that works for apps like Snagit.

Open the settings/preferences of the screen-capture app (in my case Snagit), and change the hotkey.

I changed it to F1. You can use any hotkey of your choice.

And now the print-screen works marvellously on my Windows remote desktop from my Macbook.
