How to print a page in Windows 10.

I cannot "right click" a page to access a print option in Windows 10.  When I go to the ...icon, and select print, it did not print the screen.  Instead I got 6 pages of nonsense and used half of my ink.   I want to know how to print a page!

I have the same issue.  After loading Windows 10 the right click drop down is missing.  Right click only brings up 'Select All, Inspect Element, and View Source.'  Unable to print off of the right click.  You can print using the tool menu in the top right but cannot print a sub-window that is opened within the main window.  How do we keep some of these necessary features?  Thanks

Update.

I figured out a work around for printing the sub-window within the main window which is part of my issue with the right click feature not available with Windows 10. 

If you maximize the sub-window to full screen then use the control 'P' function, you can print that page.  A lengthy solution to what was very simple before.  We should still have the previous right click features that were available with Windows 7 and 8 on Windows 10.

Thanks for that.  I mentioned this fix in the previous update but have also realized that the issue with loosing 'right click' functions comes from Internet 'Edge' which is the default browser when Windows 10 is loaded.  Simply setting Internet Explorer 11 back up as the default (or any other browser for that matter) corrects the right click issue. 

Too bad the new 'Edge' misses this. Kind of defeats the purpose of Windows 10.

Click on the 3 dots at the top right of the page. When that opens there is a print option. Click on the print option and your printer should open.

I tried all the above and nothing has worked for me.  When I try to print a document in PDF from a website and press contrl P it gives me a blank screen.  If I try the three dots in the top right corner it closes the window of what I want to print.  I have to save my document to my computer then open it up from my documents folder and print it that way.  So frustrating!! Please bring back the right click feature.
