Few simple lines of code that shows 2 options of buttons: One is red, one is blue. When I want to print the website (using browser's print menu), the buttons always appear white on the print preview, even when I print them. Anyone know how can I print the button backcolor? I tried on IE and Google Chrome.

Solution

  • According to MS, To resolve this behavior, turn on the Print background colors and images option in Internet Explorer. To do this, follow these steps: 1.On the Tools menu, click Internet Options, and then click the Advanced tab. 2.In the Settings box, under Printing, click to select the Print background colors and images check box, and then click OK.
