When I print my webpage I lose all the css colouring. Is there an option or script to print a webpage exactly how it looks?

Question

My webpage has a table mainly. The tables columns have different background.

When I print I lose the background colours even though I am printing in colour.

The colours are not gray, they just don't come up

You can usually specify that the background gets printed in your browser options, at least in Firefox you can anyway.

This works great on firefox. where do I find that option in IE6? – 124697 May 11 '11 at 11:51
Oh, IE6... Hmm, I don't have that available I don't think. Let me see if it is on any of our servers... – Tim Hobbs May 11 '11 at 11:53

This is possibly a CSS issue. Check your stylesheet MEDIA type http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/media.html
