I'm using Carbon Emacs 22.2.1 on MacBook Pro "25 running OS X 10.5.2.
My printer is a HP Deskjet F4180.
I cannot print background colors. The foreground color of the text
prints fine. But the background color of the text never prints.
Here's how to reproduce:
1. Apply a face that inludes a background color, such as `isearch', to
some text. Select some text, do `M-o O isearch <RET>'. Now that
text has a background.
2. Then set `ps-use-face-background to t' by doing `M-: (setq
ps-use-face-background t) <RET>'.
3. Now you're ready to print, via `ps-print-buffer-with-faces'.
You get the foreground text properly printed. The background is all
white.
Any advice?

Since I can, I advise to use the ps-spool functions (same name, with
word "print" substituted with "spool") to print to a buffer
*PostScript* (instead to the printing sub-system) which you then can
save to a regular PostScript file. Either a PostScript viewer (gv and
Ghostscript) or Preview (which converts PS to PDF) might show what
your HP printer can't print. Then it's either a Mac OS X 10.5.2 bug
(10.5.3 update is out) or one in HP printer driver or one you created
when you "installed" the printer in Mac OS X.

We have to expect it, otherwise we would be surprised.
