Set fill background pen to white (91?) and make sure Fill Background Colour is By Element Settings in display options.

You mean a black background on your screen?
I'm not sure if a black background has any difference, but a white pen should still print white should it not? Unless you have a white cartridge in your printer (and are printing on black paper). I think I may have put you crook anyway. Tried it here with a solid fill, colour white, background still white to make sure. Works for me. See image below. I have my background set an off white colour so you can see white fills.

use fill type "-1" called screen background - it will use whatever color you use for your screen background, and it prints as paper, I believe - been a while since i used anything other than white. the icon looks like a little monitor at the bottom right corner of the dialog, next to the transparent fill setting

I am assuming that you are seeing the fill pattern through the fixtures. If the fixtures are completely obscured then it is a display order problem (Tools menu).

The plumbing fixtures will be on top of the fill by default, but if they do not include a fill, or their fill is "Empty Fill" (or sim.) with no background pen, then the fill pattern will show through the fixtures.

It is also possible that your "Fill Background Color" is set to "Transparent" in the display options.

Pens 0 and -1 are special pens which can only be used for backgrounds. If you set them as the fill pen (i.e. to draw lines, or solid cover) then you will get this error.

So use it for the fill background pen, not the fill pen itself. Got it, thanks.

in my library, the toilet parameter- 2D Representation- has no "Fill type"?
Where do you get those toilets in your library?

A couple of ways of adding screen shots discussed here http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=40535&highlight=screen+shot#40535 among other places, depends on your system (mac or windows). You could add system info to your signature (in forum profile, link at top of page) to help people help you.

Hope this helps.
