After File>Export, how do I print?  Where is the print module? Do I have to do this with PS?

I am using LR 3.2.

Correct answer Rob_Cullen

Lr v3.2 does not have a Print Module.

You will need to [Edit-In Photoshop] and print from Ps, or Export the file and use any other Print capable app.

That doesn't solve the problem. Lightroom is where the print needs to generate from, not Photoshop. Big difference in margin sets when printing along with detail, being able to mofify immediately when needed. There needs to be a print module in the new Lightroom with plugins for appropriate printers like in Lightroom Classic. The whole function of Lightroom is to print!! Shouldn't have to export into another program to print. My two cents.

No, it doesn't solve the problem for us 'users' of the App. Maybe Adobe will make changes when enough people upvote some of the requests and "ideas" such as in this link-

As the work-around: Lightroom can still "generate" the image to print, but since your Lightroom images are only in the Cloud ecosystem you have to first export a physical file to your device and then you have a file that is capable of 'sending' through a Printing App. It doesn't have to be Photoshop! To do otherwise would require the Lightroom App to have internal code that links to all other possible printing apps. (Maybe will never happen.)
