    Hi,
    I have used a wordpress template to create my site and it prints just the text content. I really want it to print out just as it views on the screen as it is a town website and the users are not very technical at all, it actually confuses them when it doesnt print out the header and pics and things. There is no print.css file so maybe I need to create one or is how it is printed being controlled somewhere I can't find? Help on this would be appreciated. I asked the designer of the template but he responded that he didnt have time to help me.
    The site is www.doverma.org/wordpress

    Hey Bill ... I THINK you can just change it by switching two words:


    rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="http://www.doverma.org/wordpress/wp-content/themes/dkret3/style.css"



    Switch media="screen" to media="all" Alternately you can attach an extra stylesheet using that same format and set IT to media="print" ... All you CSS gurus out there please correct me if I am wrong!

    as a quick aside, if someone has "print background images/colors" turned off on their computer/printer settings, I do not know of any way to override this setting so in cases of websites that have light print on a black background, they really do NEED a seperate stylesheet for printing otherwise users get images and not much else.. HTHALAL! ;)

    bill: I'm not too wordpress-savvy, but you should find that bit of code inside all of the php files inside the template's directory.
