Printing Logic file was created by wilverley
I have noticed that the logic file is not very printer friendly, if printed in mono via google/print all the text can be read but the separator colour are not visible. If you print it in colour all the separator colours are visible but you can not read the text in the yellow sections. Can the colours be changed so that when it prints the text can be read and also the separator colours are visible?

You can create your own admin template with specific print styles.

1) Copy and rename one of the folders in the /styles directory.

2) In Global settings --> General, set this as the "Administration template"

3) Add something like this to the end of the adminstyle.css file in that new template:
Code:
@media print {
    td {
    color: #000000 !important;
  }
}
Cheers,
Tony Partner

Hi,

I think this must be fixed : have a good print for survey logic is really a great idea.

Well there was a solution offered but I can not use that solution as I am running limesurvey off of your servers so I have no idea where to find the files to edit, so although a solution has been offered I can't use it or have no idea how to apply it. It would be great if the "fix" could be applied to the default template.

LimeSurvey.org don't have server for hosting user survey.

Maybve you spoke for limeservice. Then limeservice have their own support team.

tpartner and me don't work for limeservice ....

Hi,
You can manage this easily using a live css editor addons available for all major browsers.
You just have to save your (precious) css rules somewhere in a text document and copy/paste when needed.

My example (screenshot + pdf ) was generated with:
Safari + "liveCSSeditor" extension
Applied css rules:
Code:
@media print { 
* {color:#000 !important; background: #fff !important; border: none !important; font-size:13px !important}
textarea, img {display:none !important} 
td:last-child {width:40% !important}
 }

NOTE: Another valid option is to turn on "disable styles" if this setting is available with your browser ;)

Hi,
Thanks to have shown the related post.......

:S I am sorry, I really do not get it with the live CSS editor......I tried it in Firefox with firebug and in Chrome with live CSS editor

I just do not understand how to do it ( I am very new to all of this)

Thanks

the trick using live CSS editor was dedicated to @wilverley's because he had no access to the files... so if it's your own installation the best is to add some css rules to your admin template ( using @print media query) as explained in this thread by @tpartner
