Question

It seems to me that Firefox doesn’t correctly handle an instruction in a CSS file. I might be wrong, the I’d like to correct me on this.

Here’s the relevant portion of my CSS:

@media print {
  div.entry a:link {
    text-decoration:none;
    color:#999;
  }
}

When I print my page, the links are printed in black, regardless of the value after the color: instruction if the color is given in hexadecimal representation as above.

Interestingly, if I change the line to something like color:yellow; then the links are printed in yellow. Also, Internet Explorer prints the links in grey (#999). So, I conclude this must be a bug with Firefox. If it is not, please let me know.

I am usinf FF 3.6

Answer 1

It seems possible with

1. Menu File, Item Page Setup
2. Tab Format & Options
3. Checking Print Background in Options

I don’t know how I could overlook that, but I did.
