No Background Color in Print Preview

[RLB]

On my Word 2007 document, I have an image uploaded and changed the background
color to a light green. Whenever I go to Print Preview, my background color
does not appear. I also tried test printing my document to see if the light
green background would print. This did not work.

I would like to see the light green background I applied to my document to
appear in Print Preview mode, as well as print.

What am I doing wrong?

Is you current default printer set to print in color? Word queries the
current default printer for its capabilities and page settings, etc. and
then shows that, combined with the Word settings, in the print preview
window.
