im trying to make my page printing friendly, but by default all the table background images are not printed, so i tried calling my background image using css:

\<link href=“style.css” rel=“stylesheet” type=“text/css” media=“screen” /\>  
\<link href=“print.css” rel=“stylesheet” type=“text/css” media=“print”/\>

and in both css files i have the same class:

.printNow{  
background-image: url(bg1.gif);  
}

but there is no luck, the background is still not printing

any suggestions?
