Exporting a contact sheet to jpg

I created a contact sheet in LR classic but I'm not printing from home. I use an online printing service so I need to export my contact sheet in jpg in order to print it. When I do so, it only exports individual images. The print module doesn't allow me to export the contact sheet itself as a jpg. I found my way around by printing the contact sheet as a pdf and then convert my pdf to jpg to have it print (the provider doesn't allow pdf to be printed in the interface.) I'm afraid to lose quality by doing so. Am I missing something? Thanks for your help.

I just tested printing a contact sheet to a .jpeg file in Lr Classic 9.2 and didn't run into a problem. If the pdf. prints fine and you are able to save as a jpeg that shouldn't cause  a problem with  the  contact sheet. However you should be  able to print to file as a jpeg. Can you upload a screen shot of  your  contact sheet open in the  print  module?

And to expand on the good reply from cmgap,

In the Print module you can set the 'Dimensions' and the 'ppi' for the exported JPG file.

Eg: 20x30inches @300ppi would produce a JPG that is 6000 x 9000pixels in size- Quality enough for you?
