1. Add an Asset Publisher to a page (page1).

2. Configure the Asset Publisher:
a) Asset selection > Web Content
b) enable Print
c) enable Set as the Default Asset Publisher for This Page

3. From Admin Site Content

• Add a WC Structure (str1) with a single text field, called field.
• Add a velocity template (tpl1) with the next content:

value of viewMode: ${viewMode} 
<br/>
content: ${field.data}

4. Add a str1 Web Content:

• title: wc1
• field: sample
• Set page1 as Display Page.

5. Go to page1: Asset Publisher displays wc1 as follows:

value of viewMode: view
content: sample

6. Click in Read more link: Asset Publisher displays wc1 with a print icon.

7. Click in Print icon of wc1.

Result: A new window is oppened to print the wc1, but the content is rendered in view mode (just with value of viewMode: view)

Expected: A new window is oppened to print the wc1 (just with value of viewMode: print)

Note: If you add a Web Content display to the page1 and configure it to display wc1 and enable print, printing the wc1 you also get the expected behaviour:

value of viewMode: print
content: sample
