Or here's another approach: Try printing http://dr.jones.dk/info/ and see
if the background shows up on _whatever_ browser you are using ("netscape"
is using for 2 different engines - the classic Netscape and the completely
rewritten Mozilla in Netscape 6+).

If it does not print there either, then your browser (configuration) is to
blame, not SQL-Ledger. One cannot blame SQL-Ledger for interpreting html
wrongly, just as one cannot blame the browser for not printing color on a
black/white printer.

If it does , and not on your hack on SQL-Ledger then compare the sources,
make whatever changes are necessary to make it work for SQL-Ledger as well
and report back on this so we can all gain from your work.

I agree that this is not the list for discussing how to optimally code
html, but on the other hand we all want a best possible SQL-Ledger, and
that includes print output. In other words: hints, suggestions and tweaks
are great, but don't blame SQL-Ledger if html generally doesn't work.
