Hello, 

You can do this using a server action combined with the button. You want to call the server action from the button using:

  <button name="<id>" type="action" string="Print Button"/>

Where Id is the id of your server action (reference on URL actions). In the server action you would put the code:

action = {
  "type": "ir.actions.act_url",
  "url": "/report/pdf/sale.report_saleorder/"+str(record.id),
  "target": "new",
}

This would open the PDF in a new page which you can then download. All reports you make are web pages as defined in the documentation, so this can be changed easily (reference). If you want to download the PDF report it may be worth analysing the traffic on your browser when you print and change the URL which is used. 

I hope his helps,

Thanks,

Hi,

See a sample from the purchase module.


Button:

<button name="print_quotation" string="Print RFQ" type="object" states="draft" class="oe_highlight" groups="base.group_user"/>
def print_quotation(self):
    self.write({'state': "sent"})
    return self.env.ref('purchase.report_purchase_quotation').report_action(self)

Hi Niyas,

Thanks for your answer

i already tried this solution but i've got this error :

return self.env.ref('safar_module.report_label_sato').report_action(self)

AttributeError: 'ir.ui.view' object has no attribute 'report_action'

Also i was thinking that works only for previous odoo version

But maybe, i forgot something
