It seems to depend on the default app for PDF you have set, I have used Edge and this function is not available. However if I use Adobe Reader I get this option.

Hello,
In windows 7 and 10 we had cool feature open any folder select 1-15 files example PDF press right mouse and select Print. So we could print files without opening them.
Seems Windows 11 has no option to Print? Why downgrade?? I'm regretting that upgraded from 10 to 11 unless you moved it.

2024-05-10T00:52:33+00:00 This is a real head scratcher. I can't see any reason this is so messed up right now. My users are really unhappy that they now need to jump through hoops to print. Please Microsoft, reinstate the right-click print option.
I'd be happy to replace the "extremely useful" right click option to edit in Notepad...

Just use Shift+Right-click and it pops the "Show More Options" menu directly. I love our staff. :)
