Color highlights disappear when I print a report
Hello,
I create a lot of Zotero notes and then generate reports to work and share those notes. In order to do that, I print the reports as pdf, with tools such as pdf creator or Microsoft print to pdf. The only problem is when I highlight text in the notes using different colors (which I do a lot, so that I immediately spot the important stuff and quotes), the highlight doesn't appear in the printed report. If I write, say in blue, then the text will appear in blue in the pdf report, so it' not a problem of printing the colors in general. Only the highlights disappear.
Has anyone had this problem and know how to solve it?

By "highlight", I mean the "background color" button in the note window, the button right next to "text colour". So I use this button (background color) while writing my note in Zotero, the effect is the same as highlighting. When I generate the report as an html file, I can still see the background colors. But when I print to pdf, whatever the program I use, they disappear.
