Mike, the answer is yes.

I posted the same question a few months ago.  You need to go to the Tools menu,
then "Internet Options...", then the "Advanced" tab, then scroll down to the
Printing section.  There you'll see "Print background colors and images" which
you can turn on.  You'll get the diagrams, but beware: if you print out pages
from other sites you can get a lot of undesirable side-effects if the background
is not 100% plain white.  (I turn this setting on only for brief periods like
when printing posts from this site.  It would be nice to have a quick toggle for
this setting!)
