Please walk me through the steps in printing a pdf file in which its
print icon is grayed out. I'm not a techie.

You can't print it, the author of the PDF has secured it against
printing out. If you know the person, ask them if they will provide
you with one where printing is allowed, maybe it was inadvertant. If
they've allowed cut and paste (unlikely if they're not allowing
printing) you could get round it that way.
