Based on Austrian variant of German language, it feels most natural
to me to pronounce "println" as if it were a native unabbreviated verb.

There are a couple of Austrian verbs ending in -tln, like
 "grantln" (to be grumpy), "wurschtln" (to mess around), ...
so "println" fits pretty well, with an attributed meaning of
"to pejoratively say a sentence." ;-)

So, ['prIn tln] is my answer.
