Printing photos from shared albums (photo stream) impossible from new photos app for os X?

Since I upgraded from iPhoto to the new Photos app it is impossible to print photos from a shared album. It doesn't matter whether I'm the owner or have subscribed to the album.

It is still possible to print from my photo library, but if I go into a shared album (through photo stream) the option to print greys out.


Any ideas how to fix this?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

To use the photos in the Shared Album import them to your Photos Library. Ctrl-click them in the Shared Album and use the "Import" command from the menu. Then print the photos from the Last Import album. Once they have been printed, delete them again from Last Import.

Apple may not consider this to be a bug but a feature.


See the Help: To edit a photo from a Shared album that someone shared to you, you first have to import it.

This is already ridiculous to import a shared photo to my album to be able to PRINT it. For modification? Yes I would understand that however only if the Photos would not crash.


But it crashes; or just waiting...


I am sorry but the Capitan is already a garbage, the Photos is still far behind of iPhoto and since 30 Minutes I am trying to print one photo.

one.
