    Printing Background Colors

    There is a setting in IE for "Print background colors and images."

    I've noticed that without checking this option, a web page will print CSS
    lines between table rows, but a background color of say the header won't.
    The below style will display the borders in print preview, but won't display
    the background color.

    Does anyone know if it's possible to force background CSS or HTML colors to
    print without having the user change the default in IE to not print
    background colors?


    .ReportSummaryH eader {
    font-family:verdana, arial,sans-serif;
    font-size:10px;
    font-weight:bold;
    float: none;
    color:#ffffff;
    border-top: #cccccc 1px solid;
    border-bottom: #cccccc 1px solid;
    background-color:#8caae7;
    padding:3px
    }

      This would best be asked in a group about web browsers. This group is all
      about server-side programming.

                  This option is turned off by default.
                  You cannot enforce background colors to print with CSS.
                  In an intranet environment, you can enforce this setting and the page
                  parameter settings in the registry with a login script.
