Answer 1

Try to use the below steps,

Procedure

The following is the procedure to create a Print button. We are using HTML and JavaScript for the solution.

Step 1: Enable Modeless forms

By default the view/edit forms are opened as dialog (modal) forms. We need to change this to edit the page.

Choose "List" > "List Settings" > "Advanced Settings"

Set the last option to No.

Now you can see the View form is opened in full page mode.

Step 2: Edit Page

Open a list item in View Form, choose the "Site Actions" > "Edit Page" option to bring the page to edit mode. Add a Content Editor Web part and enter the following HTML contents.

Click OK to save the changes. Choose Stop Editing from the page tab.

We added a Print button that will invoke the window.print() method on click.

Step 3: Test the page

Refresh the list and open a list item in View Page. Click on the Print button

Step 4: Enable back dialog

Now we need to re-enable the dialog form. Go to "List Settings" > "Advanced Settings" and enable the "Dialog" option.

Or You can use WireBear InfoPath Printer.
