I have a set of pages with a special stylesheet used to override some
styles for printing. One of the things I've tried to do is reverse
the colors of my navigation. On the screen, I have a black background
and the navigation is red on yellow. For print, I (obviously) have a
white background and wanted the navigation to be reversed (yellow on
red) for better clarity.
I've done print preview in IE 6, Opera 7.5, and Netscape 7.1 (all
Windows) and see the text is yellow and the background is completely
absent. Does the "print" media not recognize background colors?
You can find a page here: http://home.hiwaay.net/~lkseitz/cvg/pmf2/index.shtml
and the stylesheets here: http://home.hiwaay.net/~lkseitz/cvg/pmf2/pmf.css (media="all") http://home.hiwaay.net/~lkseitz/cvg/pmf2/print.css (media="print")
I'm aware the HTML doesn't quite validate, but the problems are from
the Nedstat code at the bottom of the page that I can't modify too
much if I want it to work. It should have no bearing on the
navigation areas.

Yes it does. But perhaps you set your browser not to print backgrounds
colors.

Why do you want your navigation to print at all? I've never been able
to click on a link on a print out and have anything happen. :-(

Most browsers have an option to "print background colours", and most
browsers have this option set to off by default.

Bingo! Additional reading revealed this. Apparently I'd configured
it to do so at home and forgotten about it. The browsers above are
just recently installed on a new computer and have not had most of the
preferences set yet. Thanks.
I may just do away with the navigation on the printed version
entirely. I guess there's no logical reason to leave it there.

Generally yes, there's no point to it. But there might be situations
where it's useful to have a "TOC" on the paper printout, as a reminder
to the reader that there's additional information available (OK, so the
smart reader will remember that, but hey, I'm not smart...).

There is a setting in IE for "Print background colors and images."
I've noticed that without checking this option, a web page will print CSS
lines between table rows, but a background color of say the header won't.
The below style will display the borders in print preview, but won't display
the background color.
Does anyone know if it's possible to force background CSS or HTML colors to
print without having the user change the default...

My program makes an HTML report which needs to be easily printable. On this

don't print unless a certain option is set in IE, which is apparently off by
default. The way we've figured around this is to add a...

I read the faq, and it mentions that IE 4 on windows requires setting a
printing option to allow background colors to be printed.
Things change, life goes on, other browsers come into existence....
So, is there a way in CSS to say "Yeah, print these background colors",
without the user having to turn on an option that will then apply to all
pages printed?
Thanks,
