By default, backgrounds in web pages will not be printed. That is why you are experiencing problems. You can solve this by changing the settings:

IE: Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> Printing -> Print background colors and images
Mozilla: File -> Page setup -> Options -> Print backgrounds (colors and images)

Hope this helped.

Thank you is there anyway to place this in coding. I am building an application for people to use and if they do not have it then it may cause a problem with the user.

If your desire is to create something that will print exactly as you design it, may I suggest you use a PDF, which is pretty much slanted for printing.

Alternately, the following code might help:

<p>This form prints best when you set your browser to print background colors:<br />
<b>IE:</b> Tools -&amp;gt; Internet Options -&amp;gt; Advanced -&amp;gt; Printing -&amp;gt; Print background colors and images<br />
<b>Mozilla:</b> File -&amp;gt; Page setup -&amp;gt; Options -&amp;gt; Print backgrounds (colors and images)</p>

Cheers,


Edward
