Hi @Ainskognito ,

Take a look at this example here - it's for PDF, but it's the same for the print button.

Cheers,

I did.
var table = $('#myTable').DataTable({
select: true,
stateSave: true,
"aLengthMenu" : [[ 10, 20, 50, 100, -1],[10,20,50,100,"All"]],
"order": [[2,'desc']],
"displayLength": 25,
dom: 'Bfrtip',
buttons: [
{extend: 'copyHtml5', text: 'Copy'},
{extend: 'excelHtml5', text: '<i class="fa fa-file-excel-o"></i> Excel'},
{extend: 'pdfHtml5', text: '<i class="fa fa-file-excel-o"></i> PDF'},
{extend: 'csvHtml5', text: '<i class="fa fa-file-excel-o"></i> CSV'},
{extend: 'print', text: '<i class="fa fa-file-excel-o"></i> Print'}
]
});
$('#pdf').click(function(){
table.buttons( 0,2 ).orientation('landscape');
});

Not working #pdf

Hi @Ainskognito ,

That demo definitely works - I just tried it . When you say, it's not working for you - what does that mean? Is it showing in portrait, not showing at all?

We're happy to take a look, but it would help, as per the forum rules, if you could link to a running test case showing the issue so we can offer some help. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here.

Cheers,

Thanks for the reply. Not working

$('#pdf').click(function(){
table.buttons(  0.2 ).orientation('landscape');
}); 

The user clicks, but orientation remains the same

There is no orientation method for the Buttons. Its a configuration option as shown in the example that Colin linked to.
