The answer to this very much depends on the version of SQL Server Reporting Services being used, which you haven't mentioned.

In the upcoming SQL Server 2016 version, Chrome is a fully supported browser for interacting with Reporting Services.

However for earlier versions, the only non-IE browsers supported (or at least partially supported) are Firefox and Safari. Older versions support progressively fewer features for non-IE browsers.

This means unless you have SQL Server 2016, using Chrome for reporting services is going to mean compatibility issues. To work around this there are a couple of possible solutions:

1) In a corporate environment, consider using the Legacy Browser Support extension for Chrome - this requires Group Policy settings to force some URLs to open in an IE window.

2) Use the IE Tab extension in Chrome to render certain sites using the IE rendering engine, but inside a Chrome tab.

Nope. This is not supported in other web browsers apart from IE. You can see the links below for some workarounds

SSRS print button in Chrome and Firefox

SQL Reporting Services - Print Button not shown in Mozilla

Check both of this link
