How do I enable a print page button after successful form validation?
I am creating a form for a customer that is meant to be printed and not submitted. The requirement is after all the required fields are filled in and validated but a print button, the form should automatically prompt to print the window. Here is a link

The print button should be disabled until the form validation returns true, or there should be one button and after successful validation, the page should print.

Assuming your validation is in place all you have to do is call "window.print();" where the validation returns true and a print dialog will come up.
