I have an odd little problem printing a table.
My table lists names and telephone numbers.
To make the table more readable I have made the backround colour different for each alternate row.

The first row background is grey.
The second row background is white.
the third row background is grey.
The fourth row background is white.
Etc.....

On screen it looks great but when I print it, the background is white for all rows. My printer is installed with the correct drivers so I'm a bit confused. I have defined the background colour of each row as:
<TR BGCOLOR=&quot;#EEEEEE&quot;>
or
<TR BGCOLOR=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot;>

Anybody any ideas??

Thanks.
 
in IE - go to Tools >> Internet Options >> Advanced.

Here you will find a check box that reads 'Print background colors and images'

Check this box and try printing again.
