All I want to do is print a screenshot. Why is this so difficult?

I have two brother printers. I’m not buying another printer.

I’m taking screenshots from Google maps. I need to print them. I can save to iCloud. I’ve installed iCloud fir PC but all it does is display a page about what is shared. Other than that, nothing appears on the PC. I can save to Google Drive. There is no Google drive for PC. When I am able to find it in files, the pictures folder isn’t there. I can zip everything up in gmail and mail it to myself but that’s stupid.

I’ve tried the brother apps but they want an airplay printer. I’ve tried sharing the printer from the PC and accessing it from iPad but all it says is SMB error 2.

Why is this so freaking difficult?

4. You don't. Go to google.com and create an account.

After you’ve done that there’ll be a screen and in the top right hand corner there will be a square of 9 tiny little tiles. If you click on it a bunch of apps will show like account, gmail, etc.. Left hand column, a triangle with the word “Drive” under it. That’s your google drive.
