As far as I understand, your problem does not come from JS but from IE. IE by default won't print bg colors. Go to Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Printing>Print Background Colors and Images
Now as to why IE's print and NN's print are not the same (i.e. they do not print the nav bar correctly), I cannot really help. Maybe sending in the URL would help.
