Printing html help plz

As a reference i went to this webpage and tried to print what i see by
FILE/PRINT so i have a reference of colours and their Hex numbers but
although the printer is printing in colour by looking at the headers why
arnt the colurs in the table printing and are just blank? i tried from 2
different Pc's I notice that PRINT PREVIEW doesnt show the colours

pmj...

Yep, Print Preview *does* try to show (as nearly as it can) what's
going to get Printed - it's always a good idea to look at the Print
Preview *first*, before doing a Print out, to make sure that what
you expect (& want) to be Printed is actually going to get Printed
(sometimes some Pages don't fit very well on Paper & also, (as you
found out) *Backgrounds* don't normally Print out, unless explicitly
Set in the Browser Options)

either.

In IE I get what you get but in Firefox the colours show in print preview
AND print correctly.

Ali...

The colours are background colours, so, by default, don't get printed. (You
can waste a lot of ink printing background colours). There's a tick box
somewhere in the print dialogue to print background colours, or possibly to
NOT print background colours. Change it.

Old Grizzly...

Ah yes thats fixed it ... thanks Ali ;-)

pmj...

& don't forget to Set that Option back to how it was!

Otherwise you will use a lot of Ink up & also many *other* Web Pages
(such as ones with Colored, Flowered etc, Backgrounds) will look really
naff when Printed!

Background Colours and images

Joe...

Yep, that does it for me in IE.

Anita...
