The fix didn't make it into the 2.1.15 release, sorry.  I'm still
working out exactly what sort of "fix" should be implemented.

However, a very good workaround for the moment is to explicitly
create an ?action=print handler:

    $HandleActions['print'] = $HandleActions['browse'];
    $HandleAuth['print'] = $HandleAuth['browse'];

Having an explict action entry for 'print' prevents PmWiki
from converting ?action=print into ?action=browse.

(This may in fact become the exact solution I choose to put 
in the core.)
