Printing (or not printing) the Web page Background in Internet Explorer

So you want to save that precious ink and not print the webpage background image while viewing pages in Internet Explorer. I don't blame you, ink can get rather expensive! Or maybe you would like to print that beautiful background on this page, but then not print background images on other pages. Well, here's how you do it. I wish it was easier but it can be done.
First you have to open up your IE browser and get to the Internet Options dialog box. On your browser menu bar, go to "Tools", then down to "Internet Options..." and then click on it.

Open your browser first...then find the Internet Options.

In the Internet Options box, select the "Advanced" tab and scroll down to the Printing options. To print the background, make sure the box is checked. If you don't want to print the background, make sure the box is not checked. Pretty easy, right?!

This is the Internet Options dialog box,,,cool, huh!

With the beautiful gray background!

Plain old white background!

Web page with fancy colored background...oooh, aaah!

Web page with plain old white background...saves you some ink!
