Can we make Print button without JavaScript? to open browser print window.

+6  A: 

HTML has no built-in "print" action for an anchor tag or input button (or anything else), so JavaScript is your way. You could also include instructions for your users on how to print using File->Print or the other various alternatives.

You could do it with a Java applet but javascript is simpler and cleaner.

A: 

Not with straight HTML. You could do it with Java, ActiveX, etc, but those are even more to add than JavaScript.

Althought as @Pablo says there is no print functionality that can be used without javascript, here is something that will make it a little nicer just in case there was a user that had javascript disabled:

StackOverflow just does *not* like your link text. :)
