I was about to respond, "No way this is true. I don't believe you." But then I found an article claiming that yes, indeed you can be fleeced like this for simply showing up and asking for your boarding pass. Unreal.

That's a European thing. Here in Australia/New Zealand it's free to print boarding passes at the airport on LCCs like Jetstar and Air NZ.
