If anyone else is interested in this, I've implemented as a couple of function calls to be called in `dragStart` (`_startStopScroll`) and `dragEnd` (`_stopScroll`). Its TypeScript code and its offered...

Its [documented here](https://datatables.net/manual/plug-ins/api).

Interesting one - thanks for suggesting this. I hadn't considered using an iframe and printing from that before. I like the new tab because it shows you want is going...
