I think that's how it's supposed to work. Remember, Outline View is
just that: a view, like Normal View. You wouldn't expect to get
different output by printing in Normal View, or with text boundaries
showing, for example.
Instead, insert a table of contents--try the {TOC \n\o} field--and print
that. You can update it whenever your document changes, and format the
TOC levels independently of the original paragraph styles.
