How I can I know the current mode of report?

Hi,
I need to switch off background color of column in print mode to save
printer resources. I need to show background color of column in preview mode
only for readability purpose on the screen.
I don't know how I can trace report current mode programatically. I am
running server side report.On client side , I am showing report in report
viewer.

As far as I know, this is not feasible. The only thing that I can
suggest is to either display the report in a datagridview (or
gridview) w/the background colors and w/the same setup as the report
would show and then have the RDL file w/o background colors -or- have
2 separate reports in an application and try to trade them out at
runtime. Sorry that I could not be of greater assistance.
