You can print charts for any person. If you want to print your family tree, you would go to the person page for yourself. Then in the lower right corner of that page, you'll see a Tools box, and the "Print Options" item is the last item in that box. You might want to print a Pedigree chart or a Fan Chart (or there are other options as well).
The print options built into Family Tree are somewhat limited. For more options, you may want to investigate various chart options for partner applications found in the Solutions Gallery: https://grms.my.site.com/solutionsgallery/s/list?category=charts
Another approach can be found in the Solutions Gallery under Family Tree Management: https://grms.my.site.com/solutionsgallery/s/list?category=family_tree_management . There you can find apps which will sync Family Tree data and some of those apps have charting options such as a cascading pedigree chart (which can print as many linked pedigree charts as you specify).

If you want to save your entire tree to your computer, you will need one of the desktop software options. Of the available options, Family Tree Maker does a great job, including multiple generations of ancestors and descendants.

"Printing my family tree" is a very nuanced problem/feature. We include one under the pedigree view options for some pedigree views.
FamilySearch has a number of partners capable of importing your pedigree information and then formatting it for printing in various forms. In addition to the resources mentioned above by @Alan E. Brown, another resource I have used historically is: https://treeseek.com/. It imports your tree data, and then has a number of formats to choose from for printing. The upper options with their individual "Create Chart" buttons mostly are paid versions, but the lower selection with the single "Create Chart" button provides a number of free downloadable charts in various formats.
