<div class="modal-footer justify-content-between">
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary mr-auto" type="button">Left Button</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
</div>

      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">

      <div class="modal-footer justify-content-between">
          <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary mr-auto" type="button">Left Button</button>
          <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>

The only way it works in IE is using w-100. mx-auto and mr and ml-auto all seems to overflow the buttons from the containing element.

<div class="modal-footer">
  <div class="w-100">
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Cancel</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary float-right">Save</button>
  </div>
</div>

 <div class="modal-footer">
 <button id="pagePrintBtn" type="button" class="btn btn-primary" style= "float: left;">Print</button>
 </div>
