Enable print Background colors and images option in Javascript

Question

Am using window.print() to print the page in jquery. But when am printing the background colors and images are not applying in the print window popup until i check the option is Background color and images for browser print settings.

Is there any way to do handle this from jQuery (by implementing the code) by default?.

You can not override it with JavaScript/jQuery. – epascarello Apr 11 '14 at 11:55 — epascarello, Apr 11 '14 at 11:55

First window.print() is native javascript and not jquery.

Second you cannot override browser's implementation or its settings unless otherwise you create some extensions for a browser.

You can do some things like allowing what to be printed and what not to be by css.

@media print {
   body{
     /* Here you can define print styles  */
   }
}

media print is NOT going to make the background colors/images to appear. – epascarello Apr 11 '14 at 11:55
@epascarello, when did I even say that???. I said some things can be controlled of what's to print and what not to – Amit Joki Apr 11 '14 at 11:56
