how can I add a print button to my recipe website hosted on blogger.com? I have this recipe website and I wanted to add a print button on the website so users who visit my blog will be able to print the recipe.

If you are okay with printing the whole page then you can use this code block:

<button onclick="window.print()">Print this page</button>

If you want to just print the recipe, then you'll need to tag it using an HTML ID the best way to implement a solution like that would be as follows: HTML:

<div id="recipe">
       <!-- Your HTML for the recipe goes here -->
</div>
<button onclick="printDIV(recipe)">Print Recipe</button>

And a bit of Javascript: (From this post: Print the contents of a DIV )

function printDIV(div) {
       var mywindow = window.open('', 'PRINT', 'height=400,width=600');

       mywindow.document.write('<html><head><title>' + document.title  + '</title>');
       mywindow.document.write('</head><body >');
       mywindow.document.write('<h1>' + document.title  + '</h1>');
       mywindow.document.write(document.getElementById(elem).innerHTML);
       mywindow.document.write('</body></html>');

       mywindow.document.close(); // necessary for IE >= 10
       mywindow.focus(); // necessary for IE >= 10*/

       mywindow.print();
       mywindow.close();
}

To change the size at which it prints you can change the height and width parameters in the window.open() function.
