You need to tell the browser that you want to execute Javascript there. So you either need to use onClick, which can be given via a :onclick => parameter, or prefix the code with javascript:.

Here is a similar SO question: How can I put a print link/button on my project page to printout an infomation?

Try something like this:

<%= link_to "Print", '#', class: "btn btn-primary", 
            onclick: 'window.print();return false;' %>
