I think what the two people are referring to- the printer icon in the command bar is gone in IE.  I deleted my too along with all other icons under the command bar because I wanted to make room for the favorite bar.       

Try this...

Right-click on the Command Bar> Customize> Add or remove commands> select Print then click on Add.

    Glad that IE11 resolved the printing issue. Thanks for the feedback.

    Yes windows 10. My printer will print but not what I highlight for it to print. I cannot isolate a paragraph I get the whole page.

    Hi,

    If this is happening with the Edge browser, try Internet Explorer.

    More information below.

    If happening with other programs, go to the printer manufacturers website to see if there are updated drivers available for Windows 10.

    Access IE11 in Windows 10:

    If you are using Edge and want to use IE11, click on the 3 dots at the upper right corner and select Open with Internet Explorer.

    Other options:

    Type Internet Explorer into the search box at the bottom of the screen. Find Internet Explorer in the list of results, right-click it to either  Pin to taskbar or Pin to Start.

    To make IE the default browser:

    Start button> Settings> System> left side menu, select Default Apps then select Set Defaults by App. Select Internet Explorer.
