In Pakistan and India notes also mean a written summary of a lecture, delivered by a professor / teacher.

It's used like that in English too, but it wasn't clear from any of your sentences what kind of notes you were talking about.

Why would you want you get your friend to print notes?

Could it be printing out a file?

 

[emsr2d2]

Are you suggesting that your friend copies handwritten notes from a lecture or a meeting into a word processing document, and then prints out that document?

Yes Sir / Madam, I mean that.

In the right context, all of your suggested sentences are grammatically possible. I find the ones with "have been getting" rather unnatural. We don't use the continuous anywhere near as much as some textbooks would have you believe.
