    I just figured it out: the Options Menu was changed on the iPad version, but not the iPhone version.

    On my iPhone, the triple dots Options menu in the upper right provides 12 different Options (2 of which are the same). It includes the Files Options section which has the Print function.

    On my iPad, pressing the Options button only brings up 4 Options (the least useful ones). The missing Files Options are accessed by clicking the file name, which is almost to the far left of the menu ribbon. The clue that I hadn’t noticed when they changed the menu structure is a down arrow to the right of the file name.

    The only thing more annoying than gratuitous changes in menu structure is inconsistent structure between platforms.

    Printing also works fine using the web app version of word not ideal but less steps than having to export word documents to a pdf which works okay until microsoft releases a fix

    I also work at a School and have run into a similar issue with Word on new versions of office for IOS 2.103.1 seems to be the issue as discussed above. I wasn't able to get printing working with using command +P on iPads with physical keyboards is there a way to downgrade office 365 on IOS to workaround this issue.

    Same here. I can print by selecting “Send a copy”, then send to a third-party printing app.
