I want to make it so that when I press the print screen key on my keyboard, it actually includes the cursor. I know that it is calling gnome-screenshot, but I can't find any way to change the arguments it is using with it. If anyone knows about this, it would be greatly appreciated.

You can do this with dconf-editor but with command line as well. Here are the gsettings effecting gnome-screenshot:
Use this command to check current settings:
gsettings get org.gnome.gnome-screenshot include-pointer
false
Use this command to turn on the option:
gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-screenshot include-pointer true
Use the same technique for the other gnome-screenshot settings.
Note you can get a list of all settings with gsettings list-recursively. For the screenshot above I used the technique in this answer:
- Bash one-liner to display ALL `gsettings` in Zenity or Yad
And the one-liner code is:
gsettings list-recursively | sed 's/ */n/;s/ */n/;s/&/&/g' | yad --list --title "gsettings" --item-seperator='n' --width=1800 --height=800 --wrap-width=600 --column=Group --column=Key --column=Setting --no-markup
