RE: Beautiful HTML Invoice -> Prints like crap! I need somesuggestions!

Ok all - I've been playing with this print styl sheet thing. I can get the
media="print" to behave correctly, but I cannot get table background colors
set. I want to print the table bg colors and background images. I was hoping
this was possible with CSS2. Does anyone have any input on this? I build
some diagrams using html and graphics which are on the invoice, and I use
bgcolor on my tables to show the separator lines in the line item section
with the prices and such. I don't know how to proceed best, or if I am
heading down a dead end with this. Anyone have any more input on this?
Everything I have read so far has been very helpful and I thank you for
that.

CSS is definitely the way to go. Here are some good articles:
