[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] fancy HTML/CSS receipt lost in translation

[Thomas Berezansky]

The actual print process generates the HTML header for you (when HTML  
is being rendered), so you can't include it in the template. Try  
style="blah" attributes instead.

Quoting Holly Brennan <haderhold at ci.homer.ak.us>:

> It looks great on preview, but when it prints the table has no black  
> background and the text is black. Examples of Preview and output

> I've never had something print differently than it appears in
