Print thumbnail photos as contact sheet in iCloud Photos

I have a series of screenshots, taken by my iPhone and uploaded to iCloud, that I need to print as thumbnails. What I call a "contact sheet". These are a series of text messages I need to print for supporting evidence. There are a lot of them and I don't wish to print them all as full-sized photos! Questions...

1) Can I print directly from iCloud?

2) Can I print thumbnails from iCloud?

3) If not, how do I send these photos to my iPhoto, where I know I can print thumbnails?

4) Why is this not easy to locate????!!! (Frustrated.....)

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

The only way I am aware of is to do a manual download at iCloud.com/Photos. Click Select Photos, then hold down the option/alt key while selecting the photos. Then click Download. Select your computer and then import into iPhoto.

This is how I ended up printing them. Just seems like more steps than necessary but...tried pretty much everything else I could think of. Using Grab for a screen capture to print also did not work. Thanks, Eric Root, for your answer!

iCloud.com has a very limited set of features for managing photos.

It is primarily the place where your photos are stored in the cloud. You would use the Photos app from an iOS or OSX device to further manage them, sort them and this would include printing and such.
