I believe this is by design.  See bug: 
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11366

Perhaps we should turn this into an enhancement?  cc: huang

We use email address in the address book print url.  cc rhp since he's the one 
define the print url.  We may be able to use the record key instead of the email 
address.

Well, yes, this could possibly work, but there was no record key when I 
implemented this feature. It would be nice if either worked. I'll never know 
the record key as "Joe User", but I will know the email address for a person. 

I don't know when I'll have time to work on this but I could instruct someone 
where to tweak the code so it would work.

taking, I've got the fix for this in my re-write of ab printing.

the problem was the way printing worked.  it would create a crazy addbook url 
and set the email as part of the query string, and then try to find the right 
card from the email later.
