Easily print an email' message body without header, and print its background image/color as well in Outlook

Actually, Outlook does not support print an email with its background image. But we can show the email in a browser and then print it with background. Please do as follows:

1. In the Mail view, open the mail folder containing the email you will print, and then open this email with double-clicking.

2. In the Message window, please click Message > Actions > View in Browser.

3. In the popping out Microsoft Outlook dialog box, please click the OK button to go ahead.

Now currently opening email is displaying in the default browser. In my case, it is displaying in the IE.

4. In the browser, open the Print preview window by clicking the Tools button > Print > Page setup (or File > Page Setup). See screenshot

Note: This Page setup command may be different depending on the browser your email displays in.

5. In the Page Setup dialog box, please check the Print Background Colors and Images option in the Paper Options section, and click the OK button.

6. Go ahead to press the Ctrl + P keys simultaneously to print the email.

7. Now the Print dialog box comes out. Please specify a printer, and click the Print button. See screenshot:
