Allen,
There is no print feature directly built into the Google Photos app. However, you can use the share icon feature to send picture files to other apps that may have direct printing.
You can also do the following:
- Download the picture to your device and use Google Cloud Print to send the file to your own printer
- Import your pictures to any of the following online printing services:
There are other online printing services as well, the ones above are just the more popular ones I know of.

Google Photos never has had a printing option - probably you are in error with old Picasa, but that was computersoftware specialised for editing & printing photos on your connected printer at home.
But GP is a website on your computer or an app on your phone and that is a very bad starting point.
You can print from the website (photos.google.com) like you can print any website, but then you can't make nice prints on 4x6" photopaper precisely.
And the app is even more poor: maybe you can send a picture on pdf via the cloud to your printer, but that also will be not in the sizes wanted. But you will have the same problem with Facebook etc. etc. unless you start creating albums at printservices like Shutterfield or Snapfish.
However: a homeprinter is not handy to make hundreds of standard prints, so in general you will need a few only and not everyday either. And then you simply can select these on photos.google.com and download them individually to your computer to avoid zipping and then you have all software available to make good photoprints like in the good old days.
