We briefly discussed the reasons for the UI being shown. One hypothesis was that the printing view is different than what you get if you print the page directly because javascript does not run.
While I did not check the JavaScript hypothesis directly there are indeed differences
In-Wiki Print view:
Browser Print Preview:
In the browser the GUI elements like the edit-pencil are absent but useless links are still shown
Why ever these differences exists, it is probably the best to solve these via the printing stylesheet, so no matter how the elements are drawn they are displayed (or not displayed) properly.
@aude: It seems that wikibase just applies the normal Mediawiki print style and does not add anything on its own. Is this right? If we want to change this, do you know which file would get the @media:print (I assume adding the styles to get rid of printed buttons is easy, but I don't know where I would make this change)
