Set Quality at 100% for printing.  If you are exporting for screen set quality to 60% or 50% - no monitors can display more that because our brains cannot resolve it. Hugh difference in file size between 100% and 50% - try it - create one at 100% and another at 50% and see if you can tell the difference and see the file size difference.  You will be amazed.3.Ask the printing service What is their printing resolution.  Most will print at 240ppi and some will do 300ppi.  Simple calculation: if you want an 8" wide print at 300ppi, you'll need 2400 pixels across. LR will do the calculation for you - see setting highlighted.4 Set Size to the dimension you want and LR will handle the rest - but tell LR not to enlarge - it will pixelate.5. Set sharpening to LOW for printing - glossy or matte depending on your printing request.That's all and it should work fine with any printing services.  Now, if the service complain that the file is too big, decrease quality from 100% to 85% or even lower, decreasing 5% each try until the file is small enough to upload to them.  Hope this helps.
