From primitive data types:

short: The short data type is a 16-bit signed two's complement integer. It has a minimum value of -32,768 and a maximum value of 32,767 (inclusive). As with byte, the same guidelines apply: you can use a short to save memory in large arrays, in situations where the memory savings actually matters.

A short is an integer, so using %d is the correct way.

There is none. short is just a 16-bit integer, so use %d.

If you want an unsigned short, use this code. 

short s;
int unsignedShort = ((int) s) & 0xFFFF;

and use that value with %d.

You can use %d as if it were an integer.
