Background colors and images won't be printed by default by most browsers.

IE reference: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296326

Firefox reference: How do I Make Firefox Print a Background-Color Style?

Easy enough to find for any other browser if you want.

have you used @media inside the css source or the media-attribute eg media="screen"inside the html source code? that might be the reason.
