| Printing
|
| |
| By default many browsers are set up so they do not print the background colours
and images of a web page. If you would like your printed copies to look exactly
as they do on screen you may need to change your settings. For example, in
Internet Explorer select "Tools...Internet Options...Advanced", find the
Printing section then check "Print background colors and images".
