How can I print out a page directly from my browser?

Sometimes I want to print out something that I'm reading on-screen. Before there was an icon in the upper left hand corner of the screen and clicking here led me many things as well as printing one or more pages that I was reading online. At some point, perhaps during an upgrade, that particular icon disappeared and I can't find any icon which lets me print something off the web page. Even when I right click directly on the page, I can save it, but I can't print it.

You can make the menu bar permanent by bringing it up again, going into View > Toolbars and checking Menu Bar.

Hi!

A superfast shortcut would be CTRL + P. The Print window should appear.


I hope that solved your problem!

You can make the menu bar appear by presssing the Alt key. You can print from the File menu.

This did solve my problem, thanks. However, the menu disappears as soon as you print something or press ALT again. Before the menu was a permanent part of the opening web page. It was an icon in the upper left hand corner of the page. Why can't it be that icon again?
