Is there a code for special printing instructions?

[Dzien_Dobry]

I have many text-only web pages. I make all the text blue because I think it breaks up the monotony, looks good and seems easy to read.

Is there any html code that I could add to a colorful web page to tell a printer to print the page in black text?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Dzien_Dobry,

AFAIK no. The only thing you can do with javascript and the print engine is to print the page. Thats why you see a lot of sites have a printer friendly page. You may want to darken the text where the cmyk equivelent is a dark blue. RGB and CMYK(printable) can be quite different. You may onlt have to drop the blue a shade that you can't even tell, and have it print close to black. I would suggest dropping the color a little and playing with it. If you have Photoshop or a graphics program you can go in and see the differences between the RGB and the printable color.

You should be able use CSS to output the printed page in [almost] whatever way you want. Have a peek here [webmasterworld.com...]
