Printing Web Page Background Colors and Images

Close this tab or window to return to where you were.

The colored text highlighting will not appear on your printout unless you set your web browser to print background colors and images.

Go into your browser's "Settings", or "Options", or "Page Setup" and check the box that says something like "Print Background Colors and Images."

 

Here are some specific instructions. Your browser may vary:
