Actually, the bug here is that mozilla is not printing the black background, is
it not?

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?
