You can't. Just separate the forms. Like this:

<table>
<tr>
<td><form method="POST"
action="http://www.yoursite.com/path/printinvoice.php">
<input type="hidden" name="custid" value="Customer_ID">
<input type="hidden" name="date" value="Date_of_Invoice">
<!-- more fields if necessary -->
<input type="submit" value="Print Invoice">
</form>
<td>form method="POST"
action="https://www.yourpaymentprocessor.com/path/">
<input type="hidden" name="merchantID" value="Your_Merchant__ID">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="Amount_of_Payment">
<!-- more fields if necessary -->
<input type="submit" value="Pay by Credit Card">
</form>
</table>

The invoice printing script and the payment gateway are likely to
require different sets of data anyway...

Not a bad idea, either.
