With some playing around just now, I see that if I set the border to 
None _and_ color to None, then view the form in Adobe Reader, the 
background has a pale blue color and on mouse over a border appears.

On printing the form, there is no background color or border printed.

In Adobe Reader, at least, the appearance of the text field has settings 
under Edit > Preferences > Forms. What prints out is determined by Scribus.

Not sure if this is what you're trying to achieve.
