Print background colors and images

Background Colors and Images are not displayed in Print Preview

Some web pages, such as Charts and Reports, will not print out as they appear on your screen unless you set your web browser to print background colors and images. Usually this option is turned off by default to conserve printer ink. Depending on the browser you are using, the fonts may appear differently when printed.
