Right, well, I’ve never had an issue with printing because I’ve basically always served up an image-free version of documents, but a client I have would like images (background images) to show up in the printed versions of documents... Yeah, now I have a problem.
If you swing over to the site (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://teddybearhospitalpr.com/">http://teddybearhospitalpr.com/</a><!-- m -->) and go to print preview, you’ll find everything appears, including all IMG tags. However, the navigation and heading disappear because they are background images defined in the CSS file. What can I do to make them appear? I’ve tried screwing with the way the stylesheet is imported (@import, LINK tag [with all the MEDIA attributes for print and screen]), but I can’t seem to get it to work... Any ideas? I’d highly appreciate it.
Not sure if there's anything you can do on the CSS side. The browsers have an option controlled by the user to print or not print background images and colors. I'm not aware of any way to override that via the markup. If they must print regardless of the users' settings, then I think you somehow have to incorporate them in <img> tags instead of as background images.Ouch, that’s what I was afraid of. Thanks.
