How can I print from directly from Dropbox?

How can I print from directly from Dropbox?

Totally sloppy answers.  There are two scenarios where one prints from an uploaded document.  The above instructions seem to work only for one of the two.  

Yes, if I upload a document to my desktop Dropbox ON THE COMPUTER, I can then print no problem.  But guess what? when working from a strange computer that requires one to login to Dropbox online, and upload documents there (i.e. to one's Dropbox account in the cloud)--there seems to be a problem with printing.  I myself get an error message and I cannot find the menu item that says print. 

How does one print in scenario two--from the Cloud?

By clicking the Print icons when previewing or editing a file or, as has been stated, downloading the file and opening it on the computer.

Yes...but you still need to download the file, right. I wish you could print from Dropbox directly to a printer.
