Sorry, I should have titled my post “avoid printing webpage background of DTPro clipping”.
It’s after I’ve put it into the database, and subsequently want to print it, perhaps with emendations, that I am unable to prevent the colored background (if there is one) from printing. DTPro doesn’t have the “no background” option in the print dialog as Safari does.
What I do is use Select All and then hit com-shift-L twice which toggles the highlight. The first time it will highlight the text in the current highlight color (selected from the Format menu), the second time turns it off.
Okay, I see: if I save the page into DTPro as Web Archive, then the print dialog will give me this option.
My habit has been simply to highlight what I want and save that as a rich text file. In that case, the print options do not include anything about background, logically enough.
