Images don't print

[Peter Foti]

Apologies for posting code (I'll try to keep it brief).
I have the following CSS:

li
{
display:block;
background-image:url(screengray.gif);
padding:3px;
margin:1px 0;
list-style-type: none;
}
li span
{
background: url(square.bmp) no-repeat 0 4px;
padding-left: 15px;
}

When combined with the HTML below, it displays a semi-transparent gray
background, with an image to the left of the text. However, when I print,
the gray background image and the image to the left of the text are not
printed. Any idea why? Here's the HTML code fragment:

<ul>
<li><span>an item</span></li>
<li><span>another item</span></li>
</ul>

Thanks,
Peter Foti

The browser has an option that enables/disables background image
printing. It saves ink.

most browser let the user choose whether they want to include background
colours and/or images in printings. This option is disabled per default,
probably to work with heavily colourized web-pages without print media
stylesheets.

You have to set your browser to print background images.

Most likely because the browser you are using are set up NOT to print
background images.

In Internet Explorer:

Tools | Internet Options | Advanced | Printing (quite a bit down on the
list)
