Printing background colours

The way you enable the option for printing background colours and images differs depending upon which browser you're using.

• The information below is based on recent versions of the browsers. If you're using an older version, the printing background colours and images option may not be in exactly the same location.

Internet Explorer
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options. Click the Advanced tab. Under Settings, scroll down until you find the Printing category. Make sure Print background colours and images is checked, and then click OK.

Firefox
On the File menu, click Page Setup. On the Format & Options tab, under Options, select Print background (colours & images). Click OK.

Safari (probably set correctly by default but you might want to check)
On the File menu, click Print. On the Copies & Pages pop-up menu, click Safari. Select Print Backgrounds. Click OK.

Netscape
On the File menu, click Page Setup. On the Format & Options tab, under Options, select Print background (colours & images). Click OK.

• Remember to disable the background colours and images option when you're finished printing if you don't want to end up with full colour versions of all Web pages you print.
