You should be able to tell the browser at print time that you want to
print background colors.

You can only change it for yourself, through your browser settings. You
cannot "force" other people to print your background colors or graphics.

Sure you can. I can force anyone to do anything I want. If I came to
your house and held your family/dog/lover/etc hostage and in the
ransom note I told you I wanted you to print a web page and you had
better print the background color or image or I would cut off your
wife's/dog's/kid's/mom's/etc's genitals. I am thinking you would do
exactly what I told you to do.
Ok, this is probably not practical, but it would work on any website,
so, in the pure sense, I CAN force you to do anything I want you to
do.

Wow, must be some *JScript* script required to do that!

Bah. You underestimate the nature of the human spirit. Besides, what if
the guy doesn't like his wife and kids?

nah... Travis would send a very graphic flash movie of what would
happen to his victim's family and believe me, he would get the
victim to print any background stipulated.

You can do it without turning on the option to print background colors
using CSS. I'm currently trying to figure out the best way of doing
exactly that....
Here's a sample that works, doesn't require any images and is only
slightly ugly....
margin:10px;float:left;border-width:50px;
border-style:solid;width:0px;height:0px;
line-height:0px;">
left: .9em;">
This will have a colored
background when printing
No colored background when printing...

Note sure what that will accomplish, but one thing I am sure of it is
not valid CSS.
HINT borders are added *outside* of a block, what you have here would be
a 100px square block with a 50px wide border! Also color values in hex
must be designated with a '#"

You say that like it's a problem. It's actually the solution.
The code that will print a "background" color consists of 3 pieces.
(1) a 100px square block, (2) a 0px square block with 50px borders that
are set to a particular color, and finally (3) a span with a relative
position so that it overlays 2.
> Also color values in hex must be designated with a '#"
Yes, the result of some cut-n-paste code. If it kept your browser from
showing what I describe, then my apologies.
