How do I print a report?

Question:
I’d like to print a hard copy of a report, but my print preview looks different than how the report looks in my browser. How can I adjust print settings so that background colors show up on the printed copy?

Every browser manages its print settings differently. Most browsers’ default print settings remove background graphics for all web pages, which results in a more simplified view of the page (and requires less toner). In this case, however, the background graphics in the portal reports are subtle and contribute to readability of the report.
