Printing Background Elements in a Web Browser

Depending on the Web browser, background elements (images, colors, etc.) may or may not be displayed by default when the user prints or print previews the document.

Some Web pages will not print correctly, or will otherwise be visually unappealing, if printing of background elements is turned off. Therefore it is sometimes necessary to turn background element printing on in order to achieve the desired result. The process for doing this depends on the Web browser being used. Instructions on changing the setting are available below for the most popular browsers. If the browser in use is not listed, please consult the product documentation or contact the vendor.
