Yes, that's part of Drupal core.. It would be a security problem if the print module bypassed that.

However, it's not the job of this module's README file to provide instructions on how to use Drupal core. When using the book module, it is expected that the user will be able to access that documentation somewhere else.

Ok.

The problem for me was, that print & pdf links appeared on some nodes or views pages and not on others.
There might be a mentioning though, that printer friendly stuff may sometimes be prevented by other modules restrictions.

Later I noticed that the FAQ includes related information, but that information is a bit outdated (4.7 and 5.x I guess) with slightly mismatching wording on the permissions in relation to 6.x. "Show printer-friendly version link" vs. "access printer-friendly version".

I guess what would be needed then, is to update the FAQ just a bit in this part.
