Basically to get a print button (in view mode), you first have a User Event script create a custom button; that button points to a Client script that itself launches a Suitelet that renders the PDF (typically from a PDF template)
Have a look at this person's scripts (although I haven't checked them). They're hard-coding a XML to render, rather than using N/render to set a PDF template and add a record:

I tried implementing this but ran into error
MISSING_PDF_PARAMETERS Copy code
const renderer = render.create();
renderer.addRecord(
"record",
record.load({
type: recType,
id: recId,
})
);
renderer.setTemplateByScriptId("custtmpl _pi_pdf_template");
const pdfFile = renderer.renderAsPdf();Bibek Shrestha
