Is there a setting for Allowing Background Colors

more options

When attempting to print a report from a website, I received this notice:

"For best print result; please enable the "Print background colors and graphics" option in your browser."

I haven't found a setting for this, Is there a setting for this?

Thank you

That options comes from your Printer driver software and the Browser uses those configuration that it get from the printer software.

The wording for that option differs between browsers. Here's where to find it in Firefox:

When you call up Print, Firefox should display a preview plus a settings panel. On the settings panel side, if you see "More settings", click that to reveal a long panel of options, and then scroll down if needed. I think "Print background" is sticky so once you turn it on, it stays on until you turn it off (and vice versa).

Does that work on your Firefox?
