jQuery PrintThis in ASP.net Core color not visible


I have an issue with the jQuery PrintThis plugin in ASP.net Core.

I create a html string with formats with summernote, for example a table with yellow font color. If I print this with jQuery plugin every thing is displayed right, but the color is not displayed. The color is still black.

Can anyone help me here?

Thank you in advance Cini

UPDATE: Here is my code: the Index.cshtml where I call the function and the css from the PrintThis plugin.

Solution

  • Please check your code, try to set the importCSS and importStyle to true.

    $('#advanced').on("click", function () {
        $('#table2print').printThis({
            importCSS: true,
            importStyle: true,
            removeInline: false
        });
    });
    

    Besides, which kind of browser are you using to print the table? Perhaps the issue is related to the browser setting. For example, if using Google browser to print the table, there have a Color selector in the print page, remember to select the Color option.

    enter image description here

    Besides, if still not working, can you post the Enough code to reproduce the problem as in Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example.
