hi,
is there a way (html/css/javascript) to force IE to print
background-colors exactly as specified in html/stylesheets?
I tried to use @media print { ... } to override IE's "print background
colors + images" option, but it doesn't work. Any other idea?
I'd like to avoid relying on the user for setting this option.
thanks,

No. It's a user option.

As you don't know what sort of printer the user has it's usually best
to be conservative with print stylesheets.

Bad luck.

In short I believe the answer is no: http://www.developer.com/dhtml/article.php/639581
However if approp. you could produce images and/or pdf files - normally
these should print as you wish with layout/colours as designed originally.

The other thing you should consider is whether the users printer is working
properly.. they maybe running with one colour missing.
;-)
If they are printing using CMYK and there is no Cyan... and your page uses
that colour for background, then they wont see very much ;-)

This ActiveX component might help: http://www.meadroid.com/sx_intro.asp
It allows you more complete control over such things as background-color
printing, provided the user allows the component to run. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi,
We have the following in our stylesheet, which acts as a page header:
#homepageheader { left: 0px; top: 0px; right: 0px; height: 183px;
background-image: url(graphics/header-salmoninbucket.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat; background-color: #B6C7B6; }
When you print, however, this doesn't appear.

How do I print a background image? I read another article that says as long as print background becomes a default for IE settings, we need to "cheat" a little to print a site as close to what we see on the browser. So we created a "false" image of the background image, kept it from being displayed on site, but on the print sheet, calls for the "false image" Problem is i have a big gap between the "False" image and the next line.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
