Color syntax printing in SSMS 2012 It seems the SSMS of Sql server 2012 cannot print the SQL statements with syntax color anymore. Is it a bug? Does it have any workaround?
The color printing extension for Visual Studio 2010 works just fine for adding the color print ability to SSMS 2012. Download the VSIX package, and unzip into it's own directory in your to your SSMS extensions folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\Extensions most likely). You'll then want to modify the extension.vsixmanifest file -- in the &lt;SupportedProducts&gt; section add

      &lt;IsolatedShell Version="1.0"&gt;ssms&lt;/IsolatedShell&gt;


After that, restart SSMS, and you'll have the ability to print in color, even if it doesn't look like it.
