What version of Emacs do you have? I assume it's Emacs 21.x, because
in that version `C-h C-i' was running the command info-lookup-symbol,
and it was buggy. In Emacs 22, info-lookup-symbol is bound to `C-h S',
and it does work for me in the situation you described (point is on
printf). Please consider upgrading.

Don't be ridiculous, it's exactly 3 characters longer than "man 3
printf". And if you are already in a buffer whose major mode is C,
and point is on `printf', all you need to type is "C-h S RET", which
is only 3 keystrokes.
