This is exactly the behavior I had reverted from the reasons I have
described; to summarize: somebody who wants to print a selection knows
what she wants to achieve, but somebody who selected something by
mistake does not notice the default is to print selection, and is
confused.

why not provide a user with a warning that they have something 
highlighted and that the highlighted selection will be printed?


Because warnings are annoying and nobody reads them.  Better to do right
defaults.
