print css master page image

Question

I have a master page working great...(thanks for all the help so far).  I have a screen CSS and print CSS on the master page.  Within both the screen and print CSS are images for the header which display fine in "screen" but do not print in "print".  The area for the image is used up on the print page but it is just a white area above the text, the image is just missing.  Now, on one of the pages, there is an image in the content.  It prints just fine.  Its just the image referenced in the CSS on the masterpage that is missing.  Fine for screen... missing in print.

What have I missed?

Answer 1

Is it a background image?  Browsers don't print css background images by default.

Something to read:

(not your specific issue but good information on going to print)

Answer 2

Also, is the browser set to print images?
IE > Tools > Internet Options > Advanced, scroll down to printing.

"What have I missed?"

How about a link to the site? That would make it easier to figure out.

Steve, that shouldn't be the issue, as he said that another image prints fine.

Answer 4

The setting is for **background** colors and images.
If it is a background image it will not print by default unless the setting
is changed.

Answer 5

It is the background image.  Checked it and that fixed it.  I will probably move the image to the master page and remove it from the CSS.  It was on CSS before I moved to master page.
