From the print template which also stores a lot of useful information like all print driver settings and color settings. If you build a Virtual Copy (Proof copy) in the soft proof mode, the rendering intent you pick is honored in the Print module too. Nice not having to remember what you selected earlier. Also examine the settings for dimensions which show you the size and as importantly the native output resolution LR will use to print to the size within the template area. You can also control the output resolution and sizing. If the native resolution of your image will print at under 360 PPI for Epson or 300 PPI for Canon/HP, upsample to 360/300 in LR and apply the correct output sharpening. If the PPI is over 360/300 but below 720/600 PPI, upsample to 720/600. Output sharpening is automatically optimized for print size and resolution sent.
Lastly, forget the print adjustment sliders. Total Kludge for people who simply do not undertand color management! They haven't a clue how to calibrate a display to match a print or view the print correctly. They end up with the 'my prints are too dark' issue so instead of correctly this with proper color management, they are now provided a slider to lighten or darken the print. Only by wasting paper and ink. And ensuring that any other application that prints that document will do so differently. As I said, avoid this area of the Print module like the plague!
