I saw a kind of similar printing report about background colours and such but it was ages old... maybe this is a different one?

Are you still seeing this with Thunderbird 60.7.2?

Sorry, I don't have a color printer and can't test.

Attachment: Prints in black.eml

Yes, I can confirm it still occurs with 60.7.2.

This e-mail prints in black only.

Comment 5

[WaltS48 [:walts48]]

Thanks for the testcase.

I saved it and opened it in my 68.0b2 and see a highlighted "a" in this line of text.

PTG generates: “wltlttgaktbi”

The source shows:

<p class="MsoNormal">PTG generates: “wltlttg<span
style="background:lime;mso-highlight:lime">a</span>ktbi”</p>

When I do a Print Preview I don't see the lime highlight.

So even if I had a color printer it might print in black.

Do you see the highlight in your Print Preview?

I can confirm that the print preview only shows black and thus there is the bug also.

Thanks Marco.

It may be related to one of the bugs in the list Wayne posted in Comment 2 but I can't see one that jumps out at me.
