NameTag printing screwed up

I generated name tags using the first template in the template source list.

It looked fine on the screen I got after pressing Print.

However all the text came out black and white, and the logo was absent on the paper.

I took a screen shot of the screen, printed that and it came out as expected,

Make sure you selected to print the background in the print controls of your browser.
Thank you,

Thanks - certainly not obvious. I recommend you add this to the make name tags instructions.

Also, what is the purpose of the save button in the make name tags dialog?

Bob, there are certain aspects of name tag printing that are more challenging due to variations in how different browsers print content. There is virtually no consistency in print settings or print preview functionality across browsers, for example. I will be doing a bit more with this feature (and the Send Basic Email feature) moving forward, so it will get fleshed out a bit more... stay tuned.

Save button saves the name tag layout and current settings without having to do the printout. It is for those who just want to make a layout change and save it without printing.
