That's not true: type "Alt-x print-node", hit [Enter], and there you go.

GUI Info readers have their own means to print a node.

You can also print a series of nodes by redirecting info.exe's output to 
the printer; see "info --help" for more.

Most (if not all) users never read a manual in its entirety.  They only 
look in a manual for a specific topic or subject they need to know at 
that time.  That's where Info readers shine.
