That seems right to me. The print page is mostly a duplicate of the standard page without all the other stuff on it. Google figured it out and kept your orignal content in the regular index and moved the printable pages into the supplemental index. It isn't like a penalty was applied or something against your main pages. I could see you complaining about it if the print pages stayed in the main index and the regular versions went supplemental.

Use a separate print style sheet. <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" media="screen,projection" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="print.css" type="text/css" media="print" /> Set display:none for things you dont want to show in the print version.

I don't think searchers are interested in landing on your print pages if they are mere duplicates of your real pages, so it is fitting that they end up as supplementals only. Now if that bothers you, just block search engines from these pages with your robots.txt file. Otherwise, I don't see how it is harming your site.

I would stop the Print pages being indexed. Put a <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> tag on every one of them. As they contain no navigation to the rest of your site, they aren't useful to visitors that may directly land on them from a search result.
