Asked this a little while ago & not had back any great answers despite having searched around.
I need to plot (print) the background of my drawings, have changed the backgrounds in Cad, but it will not plot (print) the background colour (Black). I'm trying to plot (Print) red onto black.
Any ideas, it's for my final exams tomorrow lunch time.

It will never plot the background color because it doesn't exist as an entity, it's just a visibility setting. You would need to place a color fill behind the object you want to print to get that color. Do this using a hatch and setting draworder so the red entity is sitting on top.

Basically the background does not print no matter how you set up your AutoCAD to display the background. If you put solid hatching the color you want behind the drawing elements it will print for you assuming you are using a color plot style table configuration rather than a monochrome configuration.
