When I post or pay an invoice, I need to print that document. The print preview option is not visible, how can I achieve this without downloading the report?

You will always need to download the report otherwise it is not possible to display it. Preview is just downloading and displaying.

Clicking the print icon downloads the invoice, but we need it to either preview the document or open it in a new tab. Our invoice volume is too high to download each file. Can we update this behavior so it triggers the print option without forcing a local download?

A preview will download it any way otherwise your computer can not display it.

In desktop client you can click on the print version of the button but there is no such option with HTTP/HTML.
