while using window.print() the background colors for table cells not printing

Question

while using window.print() the background colors for table cells not printing

Thanks for any help/solution

Answer 1

I'm just guessing: I think the browser is making a decision as to how to print background colors. You can probably override it using CSS. Define print-specific styles by going:

@media print {
    /*Styles Here*/
}

Answer 2

If you're using IE, that behavior is controlled by user's settings. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296326/en-us for steps to solve this. (I don't think that a webpage can override this setting)

Edit: It looks that even this feature is buggy, erring on the side of "don't print": http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974128/en-us
