We really need a "convenient" way to print.  Some of us still like to create prints to hang on a wall.  While I know the printing is still available in "classic", to be able to move forward with Adode, an integrated print function needs to be added to Lightroom CC.

I went back to lightroom classic as well - keywords stick too

I need the ability to print batches of photos over a local network to my Canon Pro-100 from Lightroom CC for Desktop and Lightroom CC Mobile. 

At a minimum, I will need to be able to make layout templates and select paper profiles within Lightroom CC.

Add me to the list of 'dummies' who just assumed there was a Print function available in Lightroom CC when upgrading. Incredible that this is not there and silence from Adobe. Very very disappointed!

The forum can make the dates look a little wonky. LR CC was only released October a year ago. But it's a popular request.

Please add printing to Lightroom CC.  You have convinced me that Lightroom CC is the way to go for my editing and storage needs, yet it lacks the basic function of producing a picture on paper. I need to be able to tweak the image just before printing and as I print if changes are needed, and I need to be in the editing program (Lightroom CC) to do so.  It appears from this string that this request has been made repeatedly for 2 years with no response from Adobe.  Not very responsive to customers.

After getting to know it I very much like the print functionality in Lightroom Classic. I get just the margins and photo size I want. The sharpening and contrast settings are nice to let me tweak a single print. It is also not overly complex.

When this finally comes to Lightroom CC, I hope you keep and improve on the good bits.

Being able to print with the same level of control from the iOS app would be incredible. Not sure what is possible, but something like that would be a game changer. 🙂

I can see that - might be worth checking out whether they have any deals right now? When I checked out adding 1Tb cloud storage I got the whole lot for £12 per month (CC,Classic,Photoshop,1Tb storage) not such a bad deal I reckon

Only problem with "Preview" is the inability to input DPI specs and/or ICC profiles (am I missing something?).  Looks like I'll be checking out the Photography Plan for another $10/month or some 3rd party print utility.

. . . . also worth considering upgrading to the 'photographer's subscription' it isn't very expensive and sometimes it's nice to have photoshop . . and then there is the book model in Classic!
