How to print background pics/colors of an HTML page?

[ConfusedOfLife]

Hi, if you ever tried to print an HTML page, you noticed that the graphics ( pictures/colors ) in the background won't be printed. Is it any workaround for this?

Thank you

In IE:

Tools > internet Options > Advanced > Printing > Check the box "Print background colors and images"

thanks! I don't know why I didn't see it myself! :o

The only reason I knew it was there is that I printed the BG of a page once... drained all my inks! :eek:

I don't do that anymore! :D

LOL :D

what about a javascript that will set those options automatically on that page you wish to print and set it back to the default value instantly after printing?

Most likely you can't do that. It would require application level interaction plus it would be a security issue sorta. Some people might not realize their settings are being changed.
