Print Problem with GIFs

[Matt]

Please help me to understand what I'm doing wrong. I am
trying to print a page that has GIF images with
transparency but the transparency is being ignored--I see
white instead of the underlying content. It works fine
looking at the content in the browser but when I try to
print it, the transparency is wrong. (I'm using Internet
Explorer 6.0 for Windows. I've also tested this on
Apple's Safari browser and it prints correctly.)
..
To reproduce the problem, here's my sample code (each GIF
has some transparency, allowing the underlying images to
show through):
..
<table width=240 height=110 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0
style="background-image: url
('http://myserver/images/gauge/coloring00A651ED1C24.gif');"

<tr><td>

<table width=240 height=110 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0
style="background-image: url
('http://myserver/images/gauge/sectors4.gif');"><tr><td>
<table width=240 height=110 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0
style="background-image: url
('http://myserver/images/gauge/needle036.gif');"><tr><td>
&nbsp;
</td></tr></table>
</td></tr></table>
</td></tr></table>
..
Note: I do have Internet Explorer set to print background
images and colors.
..
Thank you,
Matt
