Over the the past year Google made several changes to macOS Chrome printing including hiding the "print using system dialog" option and removing their Cloud printing. I rarely use Chrome and almost never print from it so I ignored these changes. Sadly I recently discovered I was unable to print from Chrome on macOS Mojave. The error message is:
The selected printer is not available or not installed correctly.
Check your printer or try selecting another printer.
A Google search found several reports but no good fix. Reinstalling Chrome didn't help.
There is a workaround. It turns out there's still a way to print using the system dialog. Cmd-Opt-P or holding option key and choosing Print from file menu brings up the system dialog. That works.
I don't know if this bug is Mojave specific. The workaround is good enough for me, I dislike Chrome in general. At some point I'll try Edge for macOS.

Thank you! I've been struggling to print from Chrome on my Mac for ages and so have had save everything as PDFs,then print the PDF. This workaround works perfectly and is a timesaver (and removes all those unwanted temporary PDFs cluttering up my desktop!)
