I recently came across an issue and I wasn?t sure if it was a QuickBase issue or a computer issue. I just recently built a report where certain rows are color coded, which worked out fine. However, whenever we print the report, the rows that are colored in the report don?t get printed with a color at all. So we just didn?t know if it was a QuickBase issue or not. Any thoughts? PS: I have tried to do what past posts have said to do but that hasn't worked either.

Make sure you have your print-settings set to print background colors; otherwise they come out black and white.

I tried finding that setting and had no luck. I normally just print the report right out of QuickBase and that setting seems not to be on there. I even had IT change some settings and they haven't had any luck at all.

Laura is correct. What Browser are you using and we can tell you where to find the settings?

Thank you both! I am using Firefox

On my Firefox I go to the icon with 4 horizontal lines at the top right. There will be a bunch of options and choose Print.Then page Setup.Then check the box called print background (colors and images)Then click OK

Are we able to print out reports that are colorized based on a colorization formula?

When I do that option it doesn't print the report right. Multiple rows are missing. I usually just print by clicking on the report in QuickBase, clicking "More" in the upper right corner, then clicking "Print". That prints the report out fine, but there is no option for me to select "Print background".

I'm not understanding. Did you follow my steps above to enable background printing. It's something that you just need to do once in your life, not every time you print.

Hey Mark, if I were using old Internet Explorer, do you know where I'd find the print settings. Have been having this same issue.
