Hello. This is the standard behavior -- group- and page-specific css files 
should be able to override site-specific css files.

You can create your own print skin -- for example copy the pub/skins/print 
directory to another name, say "print2" and set in config.php such a line:
  $ActionSkin['print'] = 'print2';

Then, edit the print template and css files -- you can permute the lines 
<!--HTMLHeader--> and <link rel='stylesheet' .../> (the Group.css file is 
inserted in the place of HTMLHeader.) Or, in your new print.css file, you can 
add "!important" to the lines which you don't want to be overridden by group 
css files, like this:
  body { background-color: white !important; }

It is recommended to create a new print skin and not to modify the existing 
one, that way if some day you upgrade, your changes will be preserved.

Thanks,
