Hello, Emacs.
I want to look up details of printing (i.e. the transformation of
internal lisp objects to human readable strings) in the elisp manual.
I try "i print" in ths manual. I get back only entries about making
imprints on paper. "printing" is no better.
I think there's something wrong about this.
Should I raise a bug report?

Hello, again.
Please disregard the previous post, and sorry for the noise.
I was looking in the wrong manual.

You should be able to find more details about `print' in the Elisp
manual ("m Elisp") as opposed to the Emacs manual, which I guess is what
you are using.
