I don't have a physical printer installed, so I printed to a pdf instead. I see no pale blue shading artifacts there. That suggests one of two things:
1. A faulty printer driver; or
2. A corrupt document and/or table.
Corrupt documents can often be 'repaired' by inserting a new, empty, paragraph at the very end, copying everything except that new paragraph to a new document based on the same template (headers & footers may need to be copied separately), closing the old document and saving the new one over it. With a mailmerge main document, you'd also need to re-connect to the data source and re-apply any filtering.
Similarly, corrupt tables (which the above process won't repair) can often be 'repaired' by:
• converting the tables to text and back again;
• cutting & pasting them to another document that you save the document in RTF format, which you then close then re-open before copying them back to the source document; or
• saving the document in RTF format, closing the document then re-opening it and re-saving in the doc(x) format.
Do note that some forms of table corruption can only be repaired by the first method.
