Internet Explorer 6 Printing

Troubleshooting Bad Webpage Printouts

SUMMARY: This may fix odd looking webpage printouts from Internet Explorer 6.

When you print a webpage using Internet Explorer 6, if the page comes out looking odd because some of the background colors and images are omitted, there is an easy fix. Click the "Tools" menu and choose "Internet Options". On the "Internet Options" multi-tabbed dialog box that follows, select the "Advanced" tab. Scroll down through the option until you see "Printing". Now, check "Print background colors and images" and press "OK" to close the dialog box.

Note that there is a trade-off when doing this; your webpages may print slower and you may use more toner or ribbon. Your printouts, however, should look much nicer and much closer to what you see in the browser.
