P: Lightroom Desktop: Ability to print

I love LR Mobile. It's hugely functional for editing on the road, on a mountain top, in a van out in the middle of nowhere, without having to lug a laptop around. Posting to online or digital applications, screens, etc. works great. for printing? Not so much.

Regardless of the setting (max dimension, max quality) printing from Lightroom Mobile is largely useless. I upload directly from my SD card, photos shot on a Canon 5D MKIV, connected through an SD to Lightning adaptor straight to my iPhone 11 Pro. Files generally range in the 30mb+ size and are in raw format.
LR Mobile compresses the file and, when printing or exporting as a file, reduces it from ~30mb to around 600kb or just over 1 mb. It's perfectly fine for digital apllications, but printing is not useful -- the quality is just totally lost for any meaningful print. 
Secondly, although the photo and edits transfer through the cloud to my desktop application, it's still the reduced file size and the edits generally appear quite different on the Lightroom desktop version. 

Is there any work around for this? Any way to print high quality prints through the mobile app? 

Thanks in advance,

-Ryan

How can you credibly have a top end photo software package that won't print? 
I have just realised this having migrated everything from Lightroom 6 and Apple into one system.
Adobe is either dismissive or out of touch. Neither looks good. Just ridiculous. 

Having bought a Canon Selphy I would very much appreciate being able to print without a computer and get the print I want rather than what the printer or AirPrint guesses that I want. In Lightroom Classic I have downloaded a template made by a youtuber to be able to print at the exact dimensions you need. Previous attempts through Canon's app and Lightroom on the Ipad resulted in stuff geting cropped. Sad really. We need the same module on the Ipad!

Lol I just spend 10 minutes to search the print module. Also, as a newcomer to the Adobe editing tools, it is hard to understand why there is even something like "Lightroom classic" and "Lightroom ecosystem". It just seems confused.

Creating a contact sheet to proof to clients is probaby one of the most essential functions In my workflow... please create the ability to print collections to PDF in the Lightroom App it's frustrating to have to use 3rd party software when it seems this integration wouldn't be hard to implement...

I, like many people, print photographs!  It is a shame that I can not do so from Lightroom (cloud-based).  Over and over for several years many of us have made a request for this crucial capability: Native printing from Lightroom.

Having to save and move and open other programs and then back again to print makes no sense.  Not everyone, I would guess, is only using Lightroom to create images to view on a computer.  I give prints to friends, I use them to make reference materials, I look at them myself.  My home is decorated with my own photographic prints, obviously not printed from Lightroom but only through an arduous process dictated by its absence.  Having a tangible print in hand is a satisfying experience.

PLEASE provide the ability to print a Lightroom image directly.  PLEASE!

I hope you are listening this time.

May be a simple thing to find but I am stumped.  How do I print a photo in Lightroom Cloud?  There was a seperate Print Module in Classic but I can't find anything like it in the new one.  My cloud storage is full and I don't need my photos in the Adobe cloud so don't want to use it.  Appreciate the help 

Lightroom Desktop has never had local Print capabilities. You are probably thinking of Lightroom Classic which has full-featured printing. 

Here is some additional information: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/lightroom-feature-comparison.html 

I need the printer function, why was it removed from this version?

How do I print from Lightroom on Mac version 4.3? (not the classic version)
