Exactly what I was about to suggest. If you use classes for your colours, you can specify the classes to work differently when the document is printed to when it is displayed. My CSS is not good enough for a syntax example, but I know it's possible. Then all you have to do is have a print button, and a label at the bottom that says that the printed version is black and white (the label and the print button themselves can be invisible when printed, so they don't mess up your display.

But it really sounds like you don't care about the format as long as the print button on your html page triggers the printer to output a pretty version of the page. (that's a lot of Ps) I don't personally know how to do this, but I know the answer is javascript and a printer-friendly web page. You could search around some content-rich websites to see if and how they implement the print functionality.

I have a link (printer icon) that when clicked run a CFM page the queries the DB again and lists the results with PRE.../PRE tags in a separate window. I then have a print buuton which opens the print dialog box. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:15:1000 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/15 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:15 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.15 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
