I've tried printing the forms I've created and noticed that the images don't print. Why?

I have deleted your duplicate post on the other forum topic. :D This one will do just fine...

Can we have a copy of the code you use to look over and test?

Check your printer properties in Fx There's a setting in FX to print background images under page setup. I can't rember IE

Adds a form Print Button.

<form><input type="button" value=" Print this page "
onclick="window.print();return false;" /></form>


Adds a Print Link.
<a href="#" onclick="window.print();return false;">print</a>


To Link to a CSS file Print.


<link rel="stylesheet" href="print.css"
type="text/css" media="print" />


The print.css file should contain the following:
body {visibility:hidden;}
.print {visibility:visible;}

Now all you need to do is to assign class="print" to whatever parts of your web page that you want to have print out. Anything on the page not assigned to this class will not print.

Try printing this page to see how it works.

Hope this helps!

yeah prism that is a quick way; which I do all the time with other websites and even the site I've placed this form on. However, ever other one prints the graphics except the one with the form.

Just switched from using the Chrome browser to Internet Explorer and it prints. I will have to look into preferences for Chrome to get it to print correctly. As long as I know that it can print I'm satisfied. I thought it had something to do with the CC software. Thanks everyone for your input.

I am glad I found this code to add a print button and the code Eric gave in another post to hide the Submit button.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Adds a form Print Button.

<form><input type="button" value=" Print this page "
onclick="window.print();return false;" /></form>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Can anyone tell me if this will work on a Macbook Pro or other Apple devices? I don't own a Mac and don't know anyone that does. But users of the website will have them.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
