Hi Ankur,

You will get the print button in the top of the form, by adding a report tag to that module, for getting the print button in your custom module, you just add a code like this,  and you have to define a report template in the corresponding name.

Thank you

<template id="template_id">
<t t-call="report.html_container">
<t t-set="doc" t-value="doc.with_context()" />
<t t-call="report.internal_layout">
<div class="page" >
<t t-call="report.external_layout">
#add the body here
</t>
</div>
</t>
</t>
</template>
<report
id="report_id"
string="String to display"
model="model_name"
report_type="qweb-pdf"
file="module_name.template_id"
name="module_name.template_id"
/>

It only applies to inherited modules that have built-in print function, which method to create print button in new model?

You can try the above for the new report also

Hi everyone!
Just wanted to share how I managed to add the "Print" button for a custom model in Odoo 15. Hopefully this helps someone!
 
Report Template (QWeb) ​

Here’s an example of a simple report template:

<template id="my_model_report_template">

    <t t-call="web.html_container">

        <t t-foreach="docs" t-as="doc">

            <div class="page">

                <h2>My Model Report</h2>

                <p><strong>Name:</strong> <t t-esc="doc.name"/></p>

                <p><strong>Description:</strong> <t t-esc="doc.description"/></p>

            </div>

        </t>

    </t>

</template>

Report Action
To make the report available and add the "Print" button directly in the form view of your custom model, define the report like this:  


<record id="action_my_model_report" model="ir.actions.report">
    <field name="name">My Model Report</field>
    <field name="model">my.model</field>
    <field name="report_type">qweb-pdf</field>
    <field name="report_name">my_module.my_model_report_template</field>
    <field name="print_report_name">'My Model Report - %s' % (object.name)</field>
    <field name="binding_model_id" ref="model_my_model"/> <!-- This adds the "Print" button -->
</record>


Hope this helps! 

Best regards!
