Please subscribe to the gnucash-user list at https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user. Do not write to individual developers. Once you have subscribed, please remember to copy the list on all replies using "reply all".

Only reports can be printed from GnuCash, and when a report tab is displayed there certainly is a File>Print Report menu item and a corresponding "Print Report" tool on the tool bar, though it may be hidden if the window isn't wide enough. To reveal it click the arrow at the right end of the toolbar. There is also an Export button on the toolbar, corresponding to File>Export>Export Report in the menu. Again, these buttons and menu items appear only when a report tab is being viewed.

It may be that you don't recognize the buttons, particularly if your selected theme displays only the icons without labels. Hover over them with your pointer for a second and the tooltip will appear explaining the button.
