Print Syle for invoice and and packaging slip in admin

How can i alter the PRINT layout for the invoice and packagingslip?
I'd love to add a centered watermark to the page.

Hi,

You would need to alter the admin/packingslip.php and admin/invoice.php files. They use the admin/includes/stylesheet.css file for styling. They do not have a separate stylesheet for printing but you could add one.

i figured that... i tried (and succeded) to add the watermark but that does NOT get printed...
So, there has to be a way to make it print and print in the center of the page, that is...

adding the background image to what i see on the screen isn't the issue at all. but i don't want the wtaremark on the screen... i want it on the paper

CJPinder is right.

Here's some additional info that may help steer you in that direction:

The admin has a print stylesheet which is currently used on the Orders page. You could set up the invoice and packingslip to use it also:

change this:```

to this:```

Then add suitable print styles to the stylesheet_print.css file.

Background images don't usually print. That's mostly a browser thing. :blink:
You might get around it by changing some browser page-setup preferences.
