customize view for print button

g.h.a.d.e.e.r

Hi Guys,
i am viewing certain data in a table (datatable) on my web page, but what i need to print is same data but in different view, is it possible to customize the view i want to print through the print button?
Thanks in advance

you can set different types of focus for the excel, pdf buttons.. maybe for print too? i havent tried but this is my code for Excel export button, just add a exportOptions search applied and it focuses to export only the data filtered by search.

hope that helps.

{ extend: "excelHtml5", className: "btn btn-default btn-sm btn-primary", text: "<i class=\"icon glyphicon glyphicon-save-file\"></i> Excel", exportOptions: { search: 'applied' } }

thnaks for your reply.
it is quite an idea but it is not what i am seeking for, i am looking for changing the columns viewed not the rows themselves. anyways it won't matter any more because i found out that print button is not functional with server side.
