Neither "man printf" nor the printf utility you might have installed in your 
system is provided by bash.

On Ubuntu, for example

$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/printf
coreutils: /usr/bin/printf

The man page mentions that the full documentation is available by doing 
"info coreutils 'printf invocation'", and that page does seem indeed more 
comprehensive than the man page. But then again, neither is bash territory.
