To accomplish the background color printing in Evergreen:
When setting up the printer, select "Page Settings" and check the
"Print Background (colors & images)" checkbox.
That should do it. It isn't a printer option so much as a "what
application is printing" option.
Quoting "McCanna, Terran" <[email protected]>:
Yes - it's creating an HTML/CSS page to print, and CSS backgrounds
don't print by default.
Apparently some printers have the option to force backgrounds to
print, but I don't see that option on the printers I have access to.
There are some various CSS tricks out there for trying to force
backgrounds to print, but I haven't actually tried any of them and I
haven't seen any one widely accepted way to do it.

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] fancy HTML/CSS receipt lost in translation
I created this blurb for our receipts (below), since plugging in the
actual Banned Books Week image wasn't printing very well.
It looks great on preview, but when it prints the table has no black
background and the text is black. Examples of Preview and output
below.
I've never had something print differently than it appears in
Preview. Am I just trying to do the impossible? Or perhaps it's my
receipt printer? Very strange that not only is the background not
printing black but the text is also not printing as white... I can
almost understand one or the other, but not both.
Thanks for your insight!
