Shading on printed form

[kmbarz]

I'm working on creating forms that will be used for web entry but also will be printed so the investigators can interview the patients. On a couple of these forms, there is shading around checkboxes that has meaning regarding how the form is processed. I've tried using background-color, but that doesn't seem to translate into print. Is there some other way to make this work?

Thanks

You mean, there are certain areas of the form that has a slightly shaded background color? ...like light grey or similar?

Whether background colors print or not depends on the browser settings.

Since shading is browser-controlled, you could use some alternative way of providing a visual cue. Maybe a dashed border? Maybe something else?
