Dave, I updated LyX to 2.2.0 without any issues, whatsoever, I did not even notice that the (direct) Print option was removed as I always preview (using Skim, by the way).
I also upgraded MacTeX and then ran Reconfigure. On the MacTeX site there is a reference to potential issues on El Capitan (having to do with some new security features introduced by Apple), which is easily resolved.
