By default InfoPath will just print and work but you might want to format things differently.

Create a new view then craft it the way you want. For print views, you might want to create controls that show the data in label format rather than text boxes and display things like Yes/No fields as text. It will take some work but you can build out a view that's customized for print media.

Once you've created the view select the Page Design tab and under properties for that view click on the Print Settings. From there you can set the default print view, what the headers/footers are, etc.
