Hello: For some reason the printout of the order form has lost its formatting. We are using white type on a black background for our site, but the print out come through with black type unformated. How do we create a formatted order form with black type on a white background.
We're trying to figure out what is wrong with the stylesheet, but so far have not come up with an obvious answer.
Thanks,

Are you talking about this include:
Location: Home > ClickCartPro > Displays: Skins, Menus, XHTML Includes and Messages > Manage XHTML Includes
--> Order Summary (Printable XHTML Invoice)?
That plus 'view source' from the webpage might tell you something about what css is being used where.
That uses a different skin, btw.
Location: Home > ClickCartPro > Displays: Skins, Menus, XHTML Includes and Messages > Manage Display Skins
--> Click 'update' on the ecom skin you are using for the site
--> Under "Directory: Base Directory" you will see one --> print.php
That controls the "printables"

Hello: OK..It's fixed now thanks. I had made some changes to try to get black type on the white background of the printed order order and messed up print.php somehow. I fixed the printable class to display black instead of the default white color and now all is well.
I usually make backups of these files when I work on them, but somehow did not do that for skin.php.
Note to self: Make backups even if it is 3 am and you're yawning more than coding.
Thanks,

Confused.. are you using a black background with white text for the printable?

Hello: Here is what I think happened. I was tinkering with the stylesheet links while trying to create my own custom print stylesheet. That's when the trouble started. I thought I had reversed my changes, but left one as
media="screen" instead of media="all".
I fixed that problem and then added color:black to the correct place on all.css and now the printable page works perfectly with black type on white background.
Your suggestion pointed me in the right direction.
Thanks,
