Answer 1

This would help you. I have tried a sample run with W3 school print example.

            WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();
            System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","driverpath");
            driver.get("https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/tryit.asp?filename=tryjsref_print");
            driver.switchTo().frame("iframeResult");
            //js executor to prevent print function
            ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("window.print=function(){};");
            driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[@onclick=\"window.print()\"]")).click();
            

This will not make the print action so that print dialog box will not be popped up.
