Sure, here are the steps on how to print a report in MVC in PDF format:

Add a PDF printer to your MVC project.
Create a view that will generate the report.
In the view, use the PDF printer to render the report.
Bind the view to an action method.
In the action method, return the view.

Here is an example of the code:

public ActionResult PrintReport()
{
    // Get the PDF printer
    var pdfPrinter = new PdfPrinter();

    // Create a view that will generate the report
    var view = View("Report");

    // Render the report to the PDF printer
    pdfPrinter.Render(view);

    // Return the view
    return view;
}

This code will add a PDF printer to your MVC project. The PrintReport action method will render the report to the PDF printer and return the view.

Here is an example of the view that will generate the report:

HTML

@{
    // Get the data for the report
    var data = GetReportData();
}

<html>
<head>
    <title>Report</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Report</h1>

    <table>
        <tr>
            <th>Column 1</th>
            <th>Column 2</th>
            <th>Column 3</th>
        </tr>

        @foreach (var item in data)
        {
            <tr>
                <td>@item.Column1</td>
                <td>@item.Column2</td>
                <td>@item.Column3</td>
            </tr>
        }
    </table>
</body>
</html>

This view will generate a report with three columns. The data for the report will be set in the code-behind file.
