Since charts in Calc are always embedded in a spreadsheet, to print one, you need to select a group of cells containing the chart, then do Format > Print Ranges > Define (the range need not contain any data besides the chart). You also need the Print Charts option under Format > Page selected as indicated above. After this, go to File > Page Preview and make any desired adjustments as explained in the .pdf file.

You can also copy the chart and paste it into another program such as Writer or Draw, then print from there, but that isn't usually called for unless you wish to add other enhancements for which those programs are more suitable.

You can also copy the chart and paste it into another program
or: You can also cut the chart and paste it into another empty WORKSHEET, then you can print that worksheet.
