Make use of it how? It sends a unique code ("\e[209q"), so you can use it
just like any other function key, either by writing applications that
recognize that string or by binding a new string (or function) to that key.
Or are you asking for a utility that can read the information on the screen?
That can also be done, though I don't know of any way to transparently attach
it to the Print Screen key. I just wrote it as a program that reads from the
screen attached to stdin, so I can always flip to another window and type
"readscreen </dev/hft/3 >/tmp/foo".
