Nick,

IE, by deafult, does not print background graphics. This is so that a page
will print faster and use less ink. What you describe is normal. To change
it, you have to go into the settings and change them...

Tools > Internet Options > Advanced
Scroll down to Printing
Check the box next to "Print background colors and images"

Subject: printing CSS pages?


| Hi, I'm trying to get a decent looking hard copy of a web page.  For some
| reason I can't get various bits on the page to print in colour.  For
example
| at the head of the page I use a graphic as a background to a table, when I
| print - nothing.  I also use a bunch of radio buttons with background
| colours defined using CSS, when I print - again nothing...  I'm using IE
5.0
| and a DeskJet 930C, the really frustrating thing is that I know it can
print
| properly because someone just ran a copy off with the radio buttons in
| colour perfectly a few months ago using pretty much the same
configuration!
| Any ideas what I can be doing wrong?  The page is not online right now but
I
| can make it available temporarily if anyone wants to have a look.
