DataTables how I can hide the title when print?

Question

I want to hide the website title tag when print.

Also, I want to add some text above the table. Like: 'Debtors Report'

How I can achieve this?

I have tried below code for print the table:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#printData').DataTable({
      dom: 'Bfrtip',
      buttons: [
                {
                    extend: 'print',
                    messageTop: function () {
                            return 'Debtors Report';
                    },
                    messageBottom: null,
                }
        ]
    });
});

try this in your print button

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#printData').DataTable( {
        dom: 'Bfrtip',
        buttons: [{
            extend:'print',
            title:'Debtors Report'

        }],
    } );
} );

if you want empty title then use this title:''

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#printData').DataTable( {
        dom: 'Bfrtip',
        buttons: [{
            extend:'print',
            title:'Debtors Report'
        
        }],
    } );
} );
