The reason you can't is because a method name by itself calls
the method instead of returning the method object.  If you had
to put () to make the call and the method name by itself
returned the method object (I would have preferred that), you
could do this:

myArray.each(&print)

but, this should work fine right now:

myArray.each(&method(:print))
