Unfortunately you can't override this setting. It is really quite frustrating overall - I'm sure some of you have used background color to create an excel style table...or maybe I'm just doing things totally wrong. Customers get to login to get their invoices, so I really want them to be able to print a copy. I've looked into PDFing the invoice but its just a bit easier to hit the print button and be done since Adobe PDF usually crashes your browser :( Matt Babineau Criticalcode w: http://www.criticalcode.com p: 858.733.0160 e: matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: Warren Vail [mailto:warren@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 2:05 PM To: 'Matt Babineau'; php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Beautiful HTML Invoice -> Prints like crap! I need somesuggestions! Isn't this a user selectable option, which by default is turned off (on most browsers)? My Internet explorer has an advance configuration option that enables "Print background colors and images". Don't think you can override the users selection on this.
