how do you enable background printing for Netscape 7 in OS9?

I've looked in Page setup and the Print Dialog and I don't see it

Do you mean you want to print Background picture/colour?

To turn on printing background colour and images, try.

Select Print (from menu), then select "Netscape" under the settings, and you should see the option. Please refer to the screenshot below:



(Based on Netscape 7.2 on Mac OS X, and hopefully it's the same.)

No, it's not quite the same...

(I hope I did this right!)

well, that didn't work. In any case there is no "Print Background" in either Page setup or Print Dialog under Netscape.

Well, I just checked it. The option is not available in Netscape 7.02 (OS 9). I don't know where to get such option.

The only one other way I can think off is to use Netscape Communicator 4.8 (for OS 9):

oh well. I'm not sure if Communicator 4.8 would be the way to go.. going backwards makes it harder to visit the newest flash/shocwave sites.

thanks anyway. I'll have to leave (cringe) IE 5 on stricly to print backgrounds.
