See that print preview dialog has blank white space in place of text.

Safari Version: Version 26.2 (20623.1.14.18.4)
MacOS Version: 15.7.3

Hi Dev Team,

I was trying to print preview and save a hacker noon article. But the print preview didn't have any text in it. Just the website header/footer and photo.


The print preview works in Chrome browser though, so its not the website bug I think.

rendering in safari, firefox, chrome

OK the difference in between Safari and Firefox/Chrome.
is in the ability to print the background?

On Safari.
Maybe the missing feature is that if Print Background is not enabled. It should default to black color for the text?
But then what would happen for text in colors which would be visible on white background. 
The thing which is sure in this case, if we do not print the background, the text is not visible. 

On Firefox
If I activate print background. it shows the text white on black. So they manage it. 
And they also manage the change for the light green title, and make it a dark green. 

On Chrome
It doesn't handle the light colored titles as darker on white, just the paragraph.
And some aspects of the UI becomes not readable whichever options we chose print or not print the background.
