Print HTML table background color with Bootstrap
Question
If I use Bootstrap table class on a table, print preview doesn't show background color for tr .
My code
@media print {.bg-danger { background-color: #f2dede;important; } }
<body> <div class="bg-danger"> <td>DIV</td> </div> <table class="table"> <tr class="bg-danger"> <td>TR 1</td> </tr> <tr class="danger"> <td>TR 2</td> </tr> <tr style="background-color: #f2dede;important;"> <td>TR 3</td> </tr> </table> </body>
On screen, all is red but on print preview only the div element is red.
If I remove the table class, everything works (except I need table style).
My configuration: IE11 and Windows 7.
Is there a trick to print the background color?
Note: The indicated duplicate ( CSS @media print issues with background-color; ) is not the issue here, my settings are checked to print background colors. Also, I can print color for several other elements.
Answer:
Thanks to @Ted comments, I overrided td style for table class:
<style type="text/css">
@media print {
.bg-danger {
background-color: #f2dede !important;
}
.table td {
background-color: transparent !important;
}
}
</style>

Bootstrap explicitly sets the background to white for printing--this is in their CSS:
@media print {
.table td, .table th {
background-color: #fff !important;
}
}
Write your override like theirs and you should be good to go.

Adding onto @Ted's answer, the following will override the default bootstrap background-color !important rule:
@media print {
table tr.highlighted > td {
background-color: yellow !important;
}
}

There is not. By default they don't print. It's a browser option that can't be overcome by CSS/JS etc.
There IS this, which force colors...allegedly in Chrome
-webkit-print-color-adjust
Which is listed as BUGGY support ONLY for chrome, and not supported in other browsers.

Replace table class to table-print
By using this CSS code
.table-print {
width: 100%;
margin-bottom: 1rem;
color: #212529;
}
.table-print thead th {
vertical-align: bottom;
border-bottom: 2px solid #dee2e6;
}
.table-print th, .table-print td {
padding: 0.75rem;
vertical-align: top;
border-top: 1px solid #dee2e6;
}
.table-print .thead-dark th {
color: #fff;
background-color: #343a40;
border-color: #454d55;
}

.table th {

}

I think better way is to use more specific css selector
<style>
@media print {
.table td.cell {
background-color: blue !important;
}
}
</style>
<table class="table">
<tr>
<td class="cell">TR 1</td>
</tr>
</table>

I tried all suggested solutions here (and in many other questions), such as applied background-color: #000;important; both in stylesheet and inline, or set
@media print {
* {
color-adjust: exact !important;
-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact !important;
print-color-adjust: exact !important;
}
}
, even combined them together, but nothing worked.
As you said above, everything works except <table> , so the easiest trick is to wrap-up anything inside <th> or <td> with a <div> (you can adjust padding to make it display same as prior).
eg
...
<th><div>Col title here...</div></th>
...
<td><div>Content here...</div></td>
...
For me, problem was solved by doing this " hack ".
Hope this help!
