How to NOT print web page backgrounds:

Does your printer print out the background of web pages? Wastes lots of ink and takes lots of time, doesn't it? Well, you can set things up so that those ink sucking web backgrounds aren't printed. Here's how:

With Internet Explorer:

1. Click the Tools menu, Options, and select the Advanced tab.

2. Scroll down to the "printing" category. Make sure the box for printing backgrounds is NOT checked. Then click OK.

That's it. If you were printing out backgrounds before, this should take care of the problem. Conversely, if you want the backgrounds, make sure that little box is checked.

With Netscape:

1. Click File, Page setup... 2. Make sure the "Print backgrounds" box is unchecked.

That's it. If you were printing out backgrounds before, this should take care of the problem. Conversely, if you want the backgrounds, make sure that little box is checked.
