I just created my first report using Report Builder and it works great on a Web page and uses my project styles (Blue text on pale yellow background) but when I print it, I get a plain white background.
Is this a CCS thing or a Browser thing ? Is there a work-around ? I would really like a WYSIWYG printing experience for my users.

I believe this is a browser thing not to print backgrounds.
Internet Explorer
IE typically is not set to print background color or images, including table cell colors. On IE’s Print Preview, our color charts will show as white table cells with black text. To get the table cells colored backgrounds to print, click on the browser’s Tools menu. Select Internet Options, then click on the Advanced tab. Scroll down to find the Printing heading and check the box called Print Background Colors and Images. This setting affects both page backgrounds and table cell backgrounds
One way around this, depending on your scripting language is to print out the document as PDF or FlashPaper. In ColdFusion this is easy to do and may also be easy in other languages but I don't know.

Thanks for the feedback. I noticed that on Firefox there is an option on the Page Setup Dialog to print background and colors. So it is definitely a Browser thing.
I will look into your PDF and FlashPaper suggestions.

hi, my browser is FR lang so my translation may be not exact : when you go in Explorer : Internet options-->advanced-->print, you can choose whenever you want background color or not, so noway for you to change this
