A program called FossaMail is a fork of an older version of Thunderbird, available for Windows and Linux. It is possible to print the address book out of FossaMail. Also, it will not change every six weeks, like Thunderbird! I have been using it on Linux for a couple of months, and I like it, having gotten a bit PO'd at Thunderbird.
Try it and see for yourself--it's free.

Doug,
I am currently using Thunderbird 45.0 under Slackware Linux 14.1 and it does allow printing the address book. Bring up the Address Book and select File | Print Address Book... It also has options to print a single contact or print preview either option.

I agree the frequent updates are a PITA, and I am not sure they are all needed security updates. It is only slightly better than, ugh, the Flash plugin. However, I usually do monthly backups and install security upgrades from Slackware after the backup. Therefore, my TB updates are on a monthly rate. So what if I miss an intermediate update. I am only "missing something" for two weeks.

I have been using TB for years and I find that it is easy to use and configuration has gotten very easy lately. On a new installation, it is now "automagically" going out to my ISP and getting the server names and configuration to use, but it can be manually changed if need be. That is hard to beat.

Use whatever tool fits your hand.
