How to see background color or images when we check page in Print Preview

As we all know normally we call background(Div background, table background etc...) color or images from css but when we check same page as a print preview those properties does not appear.

Is any one know how to fix it?

Thanks AV

Those properties don't appear in print-preview because printers don't print them. So you're seeing it how it will get printed out.

There is no way for you, the developer, to fix this.

the end-user, depending on the browser s/he uses, can edit his/her printer options in the print dialog to get this to print out, but you cannot control that.

By default these aren't displayed, however the user can change the settings of this in their browser:

this will be useful as it explains how you can use a print css to display some items when printing: How can I print background images in FF or IE?

Background-colors are disabled in the print preview of some browsers to be more economic and save ink.

I'm not sure, but declaring them explicitly in the print-css could help (Declare mediatype print for that):

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="print.css" media="print" />

In every case, the user can configure his browser to print the background-colors.
