I have a cell in table with background color set to red, for example
<table>
<tr><td bgcolor="red">ABC</td></tr>
</table>
I print this page to a color printer, however, no background color is
printed (red in this case)
So if it a IE problem or HTML behavior like this?
Thanks in advance,
Jason

IE: internet options -> advanced tab -> printing: print background
colours and images
(or something similar, as I just translated that from Dutch)

Most browsers come with a preference to prevent the printing of background
colours and images (since they aren't part of the content and just munch
through expensive ink/toner). Its usually on by default.
It isn't a problem with the browser, not a design if HTML - its a user's
decision.

It's more like a manufacturer's decision -- most users certainly won't
fiddle around with those settings. (And no, I don't have stats at hand,
but I watch people use browsers.) More advanced users like you and me
certainly know how to handle settings, or even to write a
user-stylesheet.

Do we *have* to have this pointless argument about *every* browser
option which gets raised? This is an HTML authoring group, after all.

The browser developers evidently thought it was sufficiently important
to implement a user option. Along with all the other user options
that they implemented (which, it seems, you would have us believe are
practically never used).

For HTML authoring purposes, fortunately, I don't need them; I
wouldn't believe them anyway, since I know there's no reliable way of
collecting them.

Well, some of the people I watch are rather more discerning in their
use of browsers.
The "manufacturer" decided to offer a user option, that much is clear.
*They* must have thought it was worth their effort, even if you
believe that hardly anybody will ever use it.
