Acrobat required field alert prior to printing

I've been scouring the forum and Javascript Tools Guide, testing several things, but not finding the solution I'm hoping for.

I'd like to add a warning to a print button warning that required fields are not filled in; which fields are blank, but still allows the user to print anyway after acknowledging that some required fields are missing.

Am I asking too much?

My hair is falling out, and I don't have much left to start with...

It's quite possible. You basically need to create a loop that goes over all the fields, checking if their are required, and if so, if they are filled in. If not, you save the field's name in a string and at the end present the string the user, asking them whether or not to print the file.
