Yes, in PostScript you can have any background color
you like, as long as it is white. :-)

But if you *really* want black (and I would check
with your account person to see if you can afford
the 10x rise in printing costs this will entail)
then you can see how to do it in this article:

Cheers,

David

P.S. Another alternative is to print on black paper. :-)
