Forced dark theme on pages print problem

Hello,
I have forced dark theme on pages and have tried all options, using:
opera://flags
#enable-force-dark
There are at least 6 - 7 options, from enabled with simple HSL based inversion through to enabled with selective image inversion
The problem is that when i print something on most of the printed web pages shows dark background/theme.
I want to keep the forced dark theme but when i print i want to be with normal background/theme on the printed page.
is there an option to choose the background light or dark while printing by default.
This is a big problem actually.
I am sure most of the users are not happy to waste so much printer toner and to print a black theme pages, especially documents.
That forced dark theme is not useful like that.
I can confirm it has web pages like that below with dark theme by default, no matter which browser you are using and with dark theme turned off. Then try to print and shows the normal white background, so it is possible, but how to do this with Opera dark theme enabled.

Please help.

@hoitovastike You can temporarily disable Force Dark Pages before printing and enable it just after that

hoitovastike

I am printing web pages 15 times per day eventually.
Unfortunately this is not a solution.
May be in the developer setting will have some settings for printing to be light theme only?
Regards.

@hoitovastike Why do you reply to yourself instead of doing it to the person who wrote the postal you are answering?

And why someone would need to print web pages 15 times a day?

I wanted to reply to him.
I print ebay auction pages and many other web documents, this is my job
Why will someone make that useless dark theme when can`t print webpage in normal view with forced dark mode on pages enabled is the question.
And not only web pages, have tried paypal document to print - all black background. And no setting to change this?

@hoitovastike Have you tried to print the page without the background?

@leocg Hello,
I always print without background in Opera printing settings.
Now i have tried to print with background enabled, but it is always black.
Maybe in that setting:
opera://flags
#enable-force-dark
Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents
Add one more option, like: enabled with light printing background
Or in Opera printing setting to add always light background option.
Thanks.

@hoitovastike Both come from Chromium, so they probably would need to change it

By the way, what is the behavior in other Chromium based browsers?
