Printing of movieclip without stage color

Question

Greetings all,
I have a flash stage which is in grey color. I have a blank movieclip which is in light pink in bgcolor. Can anyone tell me why when I tried to print the movieclip, my paper background will be printed grey? Is it because of my flash stage color? How do I fix this? (my original paper is white in color)
Thanks for your time,

Hi kglad, I will be putting a datagrid inside the printClip movieclip
printClip.addChild(dg);
and I will need to print out all the data inside the datagrid, so I need those values to ensure that all data will be printed (if datagrid verticial scroll policy is TRUE)
is there other ways? Resizing of the rectangle properly or set to print no background color?
whole script:
for (var i = 0; i < 30; i ++)
    dp.addItem({no:i+1, Winner_Name:"Name_Name_Name_Name_Name_Name_"+(i+1), Prize_Title:"Title_Title_Title_Title_Title_Title_Title_"+(i+1),      Prize_Name:"PrizeName_PrizeName_PrizeName_PrizeName_PrizeName_"+(i+1)});
            SampleData.push(dp);
myDataGrid.columns= ["no","Winner_Name","Prize_Title","Prize_Name"];
myDataGrid.getColumnAt(0).width = 50;
myDataGrid.getColumnAt(1).width = 160;
myDataGrid.getColumnAt(2).width = 170;
myDataGrid.getColumnAt(3).width = 170;
myDataGrid.dataProvider = dp;
myDataGrid.setSize(463, 178);
myDataGrid.horizontalScrollPolicy = ScrollPolicy.ON;
clickme.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickmeFn)
var printClip:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
clickme2.visible = false;
clickme2.enabled = false;
function clickmeFn(e:MouseEvent){
          //creates a moveclip and a datagrid to print
          var dg:DataGrid;
          printClip.graphics.beginFill(0xFFFF2FF);
          printClip.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
          printClip.graphics.endFill();
          printClip.x = 0;
          printClip.y = 0;
          addChild(printClip);
          this.setChildIndex ( printClip , this.numChildren - 1 );
          printClip.visible = true;
          dg = new DataGrid();
          dg.move(0, 0);
          dg.setSize(570, 178);
          dg.rowHeight = 40
          dg.rowCount = myDataGrid.length ;
          dg.columns = ["no","Winner_Name","Prize_Title","Prize_Name"];
          dg.getColumnAt(0).width = 50;
          dg.getColumnAt(1).width = 160;
          dg.getColumnAt(2).width = 170;
          dg.horizontalScrollPolicy = ScrollPolicy.OFF;
          dg.verticalScrollPolicy = ScrollPolicy.OFF;
          dg.dataProvider = dp;
          printClip.addChild(dg);
          // Assign cellRenderers.
          var col1:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn();
          col1 = dg.getColumnAt(1);
          col1.cellRenderer = MultiLineCell;
          // Assign cellRenderers.
          var col2:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn();
          col2 = dg.getColumnAt(2);
          col2.cellRenderer = MultiLineCell;
          // Assign cellRenderers.
          var col3:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn();
          col3 = dg.getColumnAt(3);
          col3.cellRenderer = MultiLineCell;
          //print button activated
          clickme2.visible = true;
          clickme2.enabled = true;
          this.setChildIndex ( clickme2 , this.numChildren - 1 );
          clickme2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickmeFn2)
function clickmeFn2(e:MouseEvent){
          printDG();
function printDG(){
    var my_pj = new PrintJob();
    var myResult = my_pj.start();
    if (myResult) {
        var clipHeight = printClip.height;
        var _pageHeight = my_pj.pageHeight;
        var numPages = Math.ceil(clipHeight/_pageHeight);
                    var xMargin = -20;
        var _yMin = 0;
                    var _yMax = 0;
        for(var i:int=0;i<numPages ;i++){
           _yMax = _yMin + _pageHeight;
                       my_pj.addPage(printClip,new Rectangle(xMargin,_yMin, my_pj.pageWidth, _pageHeight));
                       _yMin = _yMax;
        my_pj.send();
        my_pj=null;
The reason I got clickmeFn2 is because if I call printDG(); at the end of clickmeFn, it prints nothing. I have no idea why is that so...
Thanks,
