    You will need to export the drawing to a PDF and then print.
    Right click on the tab and choose export.

    @arturs_zipris did you get this to work the way you wanted?

    @coleman I do now want to save PDFs and then print, I want to print directly, because it is waste of time to save what is not finished. And to achieve better results I need to print drawing to study if it is good enough.

    @arturs_zipris ,

    You can print your drawings directly in drawing tab by referring below method and video.

    1. Expand the Document menu in the top left corner of the interface.
    2. Select Print...

      A new tab opens with a print-friendly format of your drawing.

    3. Use the controls at the bottom of the window to print or save the drawing.

    @arturs_zipris What browser are you using?  Sometimes with FIrefox it will try to use it's own pdf viewer and not work.  Let us know.

    I have this same problem.
    I can create a PDF by exporting but then I am loosing some of the benefits of working in the cloud environment (no centralized storage or version control). I have switched my chrome blocker off but still no joy. Please assist.
