Hello,

This isn't a Library Management problem, but I noticed that CSS modifications are in this forum, and that relates to my issue.

Big printing problem. My Windows PC global window text (set by right-click on desktop, display properties, appearance, advanced) is set to a dark tan because I don't like white glare. Most unfortunately, when I print from Calibre's Ebook Viewer it uses that dark tan color as the printer background, resulting in huge toner loss and an unreadable page. This is strange as the appearance of a book, in Calibre's Ebook Viewer, without CSS modification, is white. So I thought that if I apply a CSS modification in the E-Book Viewer (preferences, User Stylesheet), that would solve the problem. I went ahead and did that with a kindly offered sample from the CSS thread:

body {color:rgb(0,0,0);
background-color:rgb(228,226,224);
text-align:justify;
line-spacing:1.8;
margin-top:0px;
margin-bottom:4px;
margin-right:50px;
margin-left:50px;
text-indent:3em;}
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6
{color:black;
text-align:center;
font-style:italic;
font-weight:bold;}

That made the background appearance a pleasing light tan. However, when I go to print in the Ebook Viewer, the page is now all white and no text shows -- that is, a blank sheet!

For what it's worth, Calibre is the only application installed on my computer (out of many dozens) that latches onto my global window text color to use as the background color of a printed page. All other apps properly use white. I can work around this by using the Firefox epub reader addon, which prints perfectly, but otherwise it's very primitive. I want to solve this because Calibre is such a sophisticated app -- I love it -- but this printing problem is very big. Any workaround suggestions -- CSS modification or anything else -- would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
