From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.73 [en] (WinNT; U) BuildID: 2001021505 Printing white font should give user option to print darker/visible color. Printing http://www.time.com/time/2001/aidsinafrica/afraid.html will show no text because they are in white font. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Go to http://www.time.com/time/2001/aidsinafrica/afraid.html 2.Print 3. Actual Results: No words are shown. Expected Results: Mozilla should give you the option to change the color for printing.
Actually, the bug here is that mozilla is not printing the black background, is it not?
OS: Windows NT → All
Printing the black background is 100% inpracticle. No user/company wants a browser that prints a background because the printer will waste all of its toner on just the background.
Are the companies you are referring to the ones that are putting up unprintable websites or the ones trying to print said websites? For what it's worth, you can just create a user stylesheet (userContent.css in the chrome directory in your profile) and put the following rules in there: @media print { * { background: white ! important; color: black !important; border-color: black ! important; } } This would print everything as black on white... It might make sense to have a checkbox in printing that would effectively apply that style. Is that basically what you would want?
One more note..... What happens to pages that heavily use images when that style (or any other reverse-video type thing) is applied?
