New HTML Report (Recipe & Brew Steps) problems

With the latest html Recipe and Brew Steps reports I find that the previews look great.  However, there is a black background that the report is overlaid on.  It does not show through the report.  When I print, the brew sheet (for example) prints perfectly until it reaches the end of the Notes.  Once the Notes section has printed then the rest of the sheet is all black.  I'm assuming this is matching the background.

Is anyone else having the same problem?  Any ideas on how to fix it?  Surely I'm not the only one with the issue.

thanks in advance
 
Hi,
  The default is black, but most printers don't print that unless you have your browser set to display background images.

  Try modifying the style.css file in your Reports directory - go to the section labeled "body {" and change the
"background: #111;" to "background: #fff;" which should make it white.

No, your not he only one.  I have accidentally printed out solid black 2nd pages a few times.  :'(

Changing the color as Brad indicated worked fine for me.  Thanks Brad!

Here's the workflow I used (windows 7):
Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\BeerSmith2\Reports\
Right click style.css and select properties then Security then edit.
Give your account or "Users" modify rights and click OK. 
Open style.css in notepad and look for
body {
  background: #111; <--- Change 111 to fff

Close/Save the file and launch Beersmith2 and test. 

Cheers!

Chris
