For me the parameter works partially for the specific page you mentioned: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Guide?printable=yes
Because this page contains tabs, you won't be able to print the content of the hidden tabs You can get the individual tabs printable by adding the parameter, for instance: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Basic_editing?printable=yes Another option would be to move the JOSM guide to wikibooks. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Main_Page wikibooks uses as slightly different way of wiki-tagging, but it also gives you the possibility to assign individual pages to a book and print the complete book or let wikibooks create a pdf for us. I know this is a lot of work, but it would not be a bad thing for something as basic as a josm manual. Of course you would then have to move the josm manual pages away from the openstreetmap to prevent double work.
