Firefox 46.0.1 Can't print background color or images

Post by Zweber »

I am using Firefox 46.0.1. I have checked the box to print background colors in my print settings, but it does not work.
In the previous version, it worked fine. Now it doesn't.
I am running this on my PC with Windows 10.

URL to test with?
Oh, I see, this page suffices to test.

Working on my end (at least in Print Preview).

See if there is any change in Safe Mode.

Have you changed printers?
Have you verified that the checkbox is checked in Print Setup?
Wonder if it might be a Win10 thing?

I just clicked on my print icon to bring up the preview... to my surprise the background was white... so I hit Page Setup... saw the un-ticked box as part of the
printing of background colors... ticked it... closed preview, printed ... preview now has colors.

Thanks for the ideas. Noting I try works. I have the box checked for printing background. I checked it, unchecked it, it does not come out with color. Nothing changes.
I have made sure I am NOT printing in greyscale.
I can print with Chrome and MSIE, but not Firefox. It is fine with Chrome and MSIE.
Here is url to try... http://golf.debarypeople.com/card_print ... on=display.
I think it may be my css. I am going to try changing the z-index. Could be it is just printing one level. I have never specified any z-index in my code, maybe I have to.
I have not tried the 'safe mode' yet.
Thanks again, I will keep trying.

FWIW I tried printing that using FF47 making sure "Print Background Colors" was checked in my print setup. All background colors printed fine. Note that I'm on a Mac.
