How to print without saving to file?

I'd like to simply right click and click "Print..."

Saving to file can be a nuisance when trying to locate where it was saved to.

I'm using Google Chrome and Windows 10 if that makes a difference.

I been reading on the web that others are having the same problem.

Update:

Edit -

When I click "Print..." a printer program appears with the options [Save] [Cancel]

When I click "Save", a page opens asking what file/folder to save it to.

Then I have to go to "File Explorer", locate the picture and print from there.

    When you are in the print window, click "Change" in the Destination area. Then you should have your printer in the list, if not then add it. Once you change the default option then it should print straight away.

    You default printer is not set correctly. It wants to print to file instead of going to your printer. In Chrome I use the ctrl p keys to go to the print window. the control and the letter p keys. In the print window, you will see a pull-down menu so you can choose the printer you want. Make sure your printer is in that row because I know from the same mistake you are making that it is not. Correct that by putting choosing your printer and you'll be good after that

    I do not really understand the question. If you want to print a document, merely right-click and then click print. You do not need to save a document before printing.
