I haven't tried it, but infinity scrolling is horrible, as is pagination. There is no limit on the size of webpages, so don't put artificial limits on them.

Database can't handle the load? Put caching in.

Pagination as in when a forum displays its topics in numbered pages? I've never had a problem with that.

Pagination as in whenever it is used.

Ever tried to read a long article online? I have seen them split over 15 pages.

And yes, I always click the print/view on one page button.

And it is even more insulting with comments -- I am not going to click/scroll just to see ten more comments.
