BrickLink does not currently add the LEGO design numbers for printed parts to
the catalog.

Basically, the LEGO design numbers for printed parts are obsolete after the LEGO
Group discontinues the parts from their online databases. Therefore, they are
only around for a couple to a few years. After that time, any link between other
websites is forever lost with the LEGO parts database, Brickset, etc. What isn't
lost is the part number molded into the part. And in the near future after any
printed part is released, it will be most easily identified with that part number
on the part rather than some number that cannot be found any longer.

Cheers,
Randy
