Configure a print button with Datatables

[proxyconcept]

Some CSS to hide useless elements in the print view.

Also datatable can offer a specific print button, capable of printing only the table, but the entire table (without pagination). Official examples : https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/print/index.html

Really great feature.

I notice that when you click on buttons, web browsers display print preview but hidden by print settings. If you close print settings, you return to WP. Therefore, you can't take a close look to your print preview.

We can disable the "autoPrint" feature, see https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/print/autoPrint.html

In this case, Datatables only open the preview page, without the print popup. So the user can look at the preview, but he have to manually launch the print and then close the preview page.

I don't know what is the best choice. We can always imagine another new config option if necessary.

I would prefer a configuration option, with autoPrint enabled by default
