One option I had considered, before I gave up struggling with this
question, was to change all the colors to foreground colors by using
<IMG> tags and creating the images on the fly with PHP in the proper
color (with text if I want to)> (images will print by default in most
browsers. But hold on for the upload time, nothing is free).
