This is for the printable mode, and was missing from early versions of
the MonoBook skin. It was added back in a late beta version; the style
sheet should hide it from regular display, and show it only when
printing.

Sounds like she has the old style sheets stuck in the browser cache:
the wiki expects the text to be hidden, but the old style sheet still
says to show it. You can usually force the browser to _really_ reload
by holding down either the shift or control keys (depending on which
browser) while hitting the reload button. Worst case, clearing the
browser's cache should do it.

It happened to me on Wiktionary awhile back. To my monobook.css I added:

.printfooter { display: none; }

...which hid it again (though both in display and print, I believe--but then, I don't print from Wiktionary, so).

This was indeed the problem. Thanks, Brion.
