[Dev-C++] Problem with Editor Coloring

[<Mat...@Ve...>]

How do I get a non-white background on my code editing window without
causing the spaces between words to be syntax highlighted when I print?

So far I have been setting the background color by changing the color the
syntax highlighter uses to color the space.

I presume there must be some other way to do this that does not have the
deleterious effect on print-outs, but somehow sadly I am missing it.
