buttons: [

        {
            extend: 'print',
            customize: function (win) {

                myprint(win)
            },

            text: 'Export',
            buttons: [
                'copy',
                'excel',
                'csv',
                'pdf',
                'print'
            ]
        }
        ],

It looks like you have a buttons property inside the print button. That isn't something that the print button will do anything with. I think you might mean:

buttons: [{
    extend: 'print',
    customize: function(win) {
        myprint(win)
    }
}, {
    extend: 'collection',
    text: 'Export',
    buttons: [
        'copy',
        'excel',
        'csv',
        'pdf',
        'print'
    ]
}],

hi
thanks for your quick reply , its working fine.
I have a question if I want to write my own printing function bypassing the default one then how can I get the column names and all the rows.

do you suggest any plugin or method to write the printing methods because I need heavy customization --- thanks

buttons.exportData().

Sorry no. Perhaps write your own if it needs to be heavily customised.

can we extend excel same like print?
I want to add some data while exporting to excel

allan

Yes, use the customize method of the excelHtml5 button type. You need to modify the XSLX file that is created, so it isn't trivial, but it is quite possible.
