SUMMARY
If you create a Web Site publication (a publication that will be converted to HTML) and choose a custom background, that Publication prints with a solid white background. The custom color or tiled graphic does not print.

This is by design and is consistent with the way the finished Web Page will print from your Web Browser.



MORE INFORMATION
Publisher has the ability to preview a graphic that will not print. If you are working on a Publication to be printed, you can click Special Paper on the View menu. This gives you a choice of some graphic backgrounds that will display but not print. These are useful for working with PaperDirect pre-printed special papers. The graphics or colors you choose by clicking Background and Text Colors on the Format menu work the same way. You can see them, and when you export your publication to HTML, they are exported too. However, they won't print; either from Publisher or your Web Browser.
