Details

If a web page has the text color set to white...it is shown as gray on print preview and is printed as gray. The browser should set it to black so that proper printing will occur.
Code to reproduce: <HTML> <TITLE></TITLE> <BODY TEXT="#FFFFFF" BGCOLOR="#000000"> This is white text. It will show up as gray on Print Preview and be printed gray, which is difficult to read. </BODY> </HTML>
I think this is right like this. Printing in it white color doesn't make much sense. But the author of the HTML page had some intention, when he made the text white, e.g. it shouldn't take too much attention from the user (better: no attention). So it should do in the print of the page, but if its printed black, it would gain too much attention und wouldn't equal the orginal intention of the author.
We darken the text some, but we should darken more...
