- You may be able to work around this behavior by copying the image from
Internet Explorer to the clipboard. To do so, press ALT+PRINT SCREEN in
Internet Explorer. Then, open any program that supports pasting bitmap
images (such as Paint), paste the image into the program, and then
print the image.

can print background images.
