Hi Dany,
I’m not sure how to format this directly in Jinja, but I’ll offer a possible workaround.
Create a new custom field (type: data) in the document. This can be hidden if you only want it on the print format.
Add the following to the custom script for that document, changing the doctype, trigger, and custom field name:
frappe.ui.form.on("DocType", {
trigger: function(frm) {
var today = new Date();
var month = new Array();
month[0] = "January";
month[1] = "February";
month[2] = "March";
month[3] = "April";
month[4] = "May";
month[5] = "June";
month[6] = "July";
month[7] = "August";
month[8] = "September";
month[9] = "October";
month[10] = "November";
month[11] = "December";
var n = month[today.getMonth()];
frm.set_value("custom_data_field_for_month", date);
}
});
Then just add the custom field to your print format.

I’m 5 years late but I was trying to solve the same problem.
Here is what I came up with. Its a bit hacky but gets the job done.
In the print template, you can use this.
{% set months = ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sept", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"] %}
{% set month = (doc.posting_date[5] + doc.posting_date[6])|int - 1 %}
<!-- Then you can show the month like -->
{{ months[month] }}
