Color printing

WP-Print is a nice plugin, very easy to use. I encounter a problem when printing your special ‘print webpage’. Your webpage is always printed in black and white even the page has colored contents. Any idea? Many thanks!

If you dont need complicated functions and understand some of css, its your plugin.
Love it, thank you.
Possibly incompatible – seeing 404 instead
by nycynik·8 years ago·1 reply
I installed the plugin, then went to the configuration and was able to configure the plug-in. Tried not installing the PHP on every page as per instructions, and only adding the shortcode. That process seemed to work fine, the button appears and shows the text print. But when I click it, it tries to visit <domain>/<path/to/post>/post/print
Since /print is not a valid page, I assume this is something the plugin should fix, but instead it shows 404.
