Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 235672

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Ling Qi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

When the linked file is printed or viewed in print-preview, page 2+ are shown
with a black page background while page 1 is with a white background. Modifying
the page's BODY tag to include bgcolor="xxxxxx" fixes the problem.

The same error occurs in Firebird 0.8; and affects both print and print-preview.

highly likely to be related to bug #208538

It seems that since the body bgcolor is undefined, the table bgcolour is
inherited (probably not the right word) to the body

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open webpage URL
2. enable "print background colour / image" in page setup
3. print or print preview

Actual Results:  
Page 2+ shows with a black page-background

Expected Results:  
Page 2+ should print with white background just like Page 1

Just tried and removed all bgcolor=000000 in the five TABLE tags in test case.
The resultant page prints with light gray colour as inherited from one of the TD
tags, apparently. Please give it a try.

I think this is a dupe of bug 235672 (that one used CSS for backgrounds, but
gives the same results).

The problem goes away if the body or html element have their background-color
set to something (the default value of "inherit" seems to trigger the bug).  So
if you want to work around the bug in current mozilla releases, just set the
background colour for the document.
