Did you rename 'print.php' to be 'my_print_skin.php'?  Unlike
the *.tmpl files, PmWiki only looks for *.php skin files that 
_exactly_ match the name of the skin or that are named 'skin.php'.
So, if 'print.php' wasn't renamed, then PmWiki would never load it.

Wherever you think best.  If on a separate page, then it at least
deserves a mention on Cookbook.SkinChange .

Thanks!
