So I am using the PrintThis JQuery plugin in order to print a form field, but for some reason I am unable to have the plugin print out any changes made to the checkboxes. When I click "Print", the only checkbox that appears to change is one that has a "checked" property by default. Any ideas on how to fix this?
HTML:
<body>
<div id="print">
<form>
<input id="option" type="checkbox" checked>
<label class="checkbox" for="option"> You are 18 years or older</label>
<br><br>
<input id="option2" type="checkbox">
<label class="checkbox" for="option2"> You have tested positive for something in your blood</label>
<br><br>
<input id="option3" type="checkbox">
<label class="checkbox" for="option3"> You have health-related kidney problems</label>
<br><br>
<input id="option4" type="checkbox">
<label class="checkbox" for="option4"> You have health-related skin problems</label>
<br><br>
<input id="option5" type="checkbox">
<label class="checkbox" for="option5"> You have a low platelet count</label>
</form>
</div>
<br>
<br>
<input id="printButton" type="button" value="Click here to download and print this checklist to review with your doctor." />
</body>

Not sure what the problem might be here, but you can get around it by explicitly setting the checked attribute for the checkboxes that are checked.
$("input:button").click(function () {
$('input[type="checkbox"]').each(function() {
var $this = $(this);
if($this.is(':checked')) {
$this.attr('checked', true);
} else {
$this.removeAttr('checked');
}
});
$("#print").printThis({'importStyle': true});
});
