Print pdf attachment in email without opening it

I get a ton of emails with pdf files that I need to print out the pdf and not the email. On my old desktop you could right click the attachment and select print. I've switched over to Mac and that's not an option when I click the attachment. I have to open the attachment and then print which is time consuming when I have a ton of emails.

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.13

Open up the System Preferences : Printers & Scanners panel. Click on the default printer icon under printers, and drag/drop it onto your Dock immediately below where it would be comfortable to drag and drop an email PDF attachment onto that Dock printer icon. A small print queue window will appear showing the progress of the print operation, and then it will close.
