The -print is not needed. See IEEE Std 1003.1-2001

If no expression is present, -print shall be used as the expression.
Otherwise, if the given expression does not contain any of the primaries
-exec, -ok, or -print, the given expression shall be effectively
replaced by:

( given_expression ) -print
