P: Lightroom Desktop: Ability to print

Brian - as a software engineer I can tell you that it may seem straightforward, however it may not be so for a lot of reasons.

The fact that printing exists in Classic seems to belie any claim that adding it to CC is a big job. How difficult could it be to adapt existing technology to a sister program? Without an explanation Adobe appears to be intentionally snubbing it’s customer base, but to what end?

Adding a print module is a big job, sure... But adding lossless file output is a basic task, and it would enable us to use another program to print (be that Classic, Photoshop or anything else).

Printing is a pretty fundamental ability for a photograph don't you think Victoria? I'm managing okay by (against Adobe Recommendations) running CC and Classic side by side, both syncing, it mean I get two backups locally, but it also means that I can print as normal and create wedding books whilst using CC for triage and editing. 

Yes Adobe reads everything. It is frustrating when the one feature you really want seems to continue to be bypassed. It's just a very young app and there's a lot of features to add, so tough decisions have to be made.

Seems to be a waste of time. I'm learning how to print with GIMP an open-source program. It has a pretty steep learning curve but is full-featured. If I succeed there, then I will take a look at RawTherapee (which can feed GIMP) and regretfully cut the ties to LR. I have been a huge fan of LR for years, and always bought the updates to LR Classic when they came out, but won't double the monthly cost just so I can print.

With February, 2019 comes another update, and still no print functionality in Lightroom CC. Does anyone from Adobe read these forums? Is there EVER a plan to implement a print dialog from within the app, or are we all wasting our time leaving comments here?

So strange nothing happens. 

Is a print function is so hard to implement?
is it implemented in iOS version probably with embedded functionality of IOS. Why not in Mac OS ?

Will this be implemented or not?

Why no statement from an official?

I liked printing in LR Classic also. I don’t really want LR CC. I’d happily buy Classic and just pay an upgrade fee for new versions the way it used to be. My choice now is to double my monthly subscription so I can print, or go to open source solutions such as Rawtherapee to edit my Raw files connected to GIMP for printing.
