This is annoying isn't it?  Actually from what I've figured out,
Ctrl-p only locks up the full-screen mode if you have the print queue
disabled.  This is because the standard CMD shell or some other
keyboard monitor is picking up the Ctrl-p and assumes that you want to
copy all output to the printer. (If you have a printer attached and
you do this by accident, it is not a pretty sight :-) I find that if
you hit Ctrl-p by accident, you hit it again immediately to prevent
problems.
