What kind of effect is it and what code are you using for it? – Pekka Feb 24 '11 at 13:24

What happens if you put all your CSS rules inside an "@media all { }" block? (Should make no difference, but if it were me I'd try it.) – Pointy Feb 24 '11 at 13:25

3If you mean no background images are printed it's the default browser behavior and there's nothing you can do. Otherwise please give more details. – Shadow The GPT Wizard Feb 24 '11 at 13:26

have you used @media inside the css source or the media-attribute eg media="screen"inside the html source code? that might be the reason.

Background colors and images won't be printed by default by most browsers.
IE reference: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296326
Firefox reference: How do I Make Firefox Print a Background-Color Style?
Easy enough to find for any other browser if you want.
