| How do I print background colors in Chrome? | jzaun | 3/23/11 1:54 PM | So...

Click on IE TAB icon. Right click on the new page and select Print Preview.Select to print background. |
| Re: How do I print background colors in Chrome? | jzaun | 3/23/11 4:18 PM | This is a minor hack that only works in windows. All it does is open an IE renderer in a chrome tab, your not using chrome anymore... |
| Re: How do I print background colors in Chrome? | vinbrown2 | 4/12/11 9:41 AM | Pretty surprising that this hasn't been done yet. Is there a specific reason or is it just not done? |
| Re: How do I print background colors in Chrome? | NewKadia | 5/9/11 6:50 AM | I agree... this is a only a hack to a large problem... but just the same I guess I'll have to use it until Google gets around to fixing the issue. |
| Re: How do I print background colors in Chrome? | courtthree | 7/8/11 1:27 AM | Just want to add my name to the petition. This is a bit of a joke really - but clearly it must conflict with one of Google's other development policies? Perhaps an environmental one where we are trying to phase out printing? It's the only explanation |
| Re: How do I print background colors in Chrome? | chaser | 8/2/11 1:23 PM | +1 for printing color and background images. Chrome is much to popular to allow this kind of a hole / limitation in its capabilities to persist. |
| Re: How do I print background colors in Chrome? | thomas or thomaus | 8/11/11 2:50 PM | With whatever changed in a recent update, at least you can now clearly see what isn't going to print in the preview. That's kind of nice. But there still doesn't seem to be a button to print backgrounds. |
| Re: How do I print background colors in Chrome? | jzaun | 8/11/11 8:25 PM | I like how google doesn't even give enough of a sh!* after nearly four f@rking years to even respond to any of the posts about it. Google is the new Microsoft any more. |
| Re: How do I print background colors in Chrome? | rlecour | 8/15/11 3:12 PM | If you want this feature added, vote for it by going to http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=2294 and clicking the empty star to the left of "Issue 2294". I think only large numbers of votes will make the difference in prioritization. |
| Re: How do I print background colors in Chrome? | cynwiz | 8/16/11 6:10 AM | This is a MAJOR FLAW in Chrome. It can't be a hard one to fix. This is a basic ingredient in Firefox printing. Since I refuse to use IE I guess I'll be abandoning Chrome until Google gets it right. Back to Firefox for me! |
| Re: How do I print background colors in Chrome? | kd_SF | 9/6/11 2:14 PM | So, the only practical way I know of is to use a different browser. I use Firefox. I copy the URL into Firefox and print from there ... or I just stay in Firefox if there is much printing to be done. It is ridiculous for Google to let this problem |
| Re: How do I print background colors in Chrome? | Paultroke | 11/21/11 1:22 PM | I'm adding my disgust to this thread, although it appears that it isn't even moderated let alone taken notice of. Surely it is not up to a nameless software writer to decide I cannot print backgrounds. Sometimes vital information is in the backgrou |

| Re: How do I print background colors in Chrome? | raphievila | 3/8/12 12:14 PM | 2012 Nothing yet!!! And Internet Explorer is getting back with version 10, who has standardized all things I love Chrome for. But this bug is more important than anyone think!, I have a web app that generates reports for my customer and this feature |
| Re: How do I print background colors in Chrome? | Morialkar | 3/27/12 12:23 PM | It has been corrected, but you as a dev most correct it for each web app. You must add this "-webkit-print-color-adjust:exact;" to any css file of the project, ideally the print one, as the other won't load when printing. It will force chrome to take |
| Re: How do I print background colors in Chrome? | mrbruno | 4/28/12 7:34 AM | Thanks, Morialkar! That works well but I still think Chrome has missed the boat. I think the user should be able to control the whether background images are printed or not. While this workaround will please half of the people, it will probably in |
| Re: How do I print background colors in Chrome? | Jayman007 | 5/25/12 3:22 AM | ver 20.0.1132.17 beta-m and this has still not been corrected. Google has lost much status in my book. |

| Re: How do I print background colors in Chrome? | Morialkar | 7/10/12 11:25 AM | I think the problem is with how Chrome extension permission works, as they stack a lot of things under the same name... They must have access to your info, they have to modify the CSS of the page to make it work (the main reason you see the extention |
| Re: How do I print background colors in Chrome? | FriskyDingo | 8/12/12 11:26 PM | Up to version 21 and this still doesn't work. Having to revert back to Firefox...which really sucks. |
| Re: How do I print background colors in Chrome? | Paul Marks | 9/9/12 7:08 PM | After running into this problem, I put an extension on the Web Store to fix it: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gjecpgdgnlanljjdacjdeadjkocnnamk Here's the source code: https://code.google.com/p/chromium-print-background-colors/source/brows |
| Re: How do I print background colors in Chrome? | FriskyDingo | 9/10/12 2:53 AM | Thank you!!!!!!!!!!! Testing now and seems to work good, I have seen some funny stuff around page breaks, but change the margins seems to have resolved it. |
| Re: How do I print background colors in Chrome? | amisababa | 9/10/12 3:28 AM | I have tested your extension on Chrome Version 22.0.1229.39 beta-m and although it does finally show the backgrounds in the print preview - it still prints without them... :( |
