Conditional Formatting in Custom Field not printing
I think the issue you are dealing with is that the master does not actually contain subproject tasks, rather, the master only contains pointers to each subproject. You can readily see this by looking at the ID field. For those tasks that are in the master (i.e. subproject summary line insertion points) you will see one set of IDs, consecutive but spaced apart by subproject tasks. Within each subproject you will see the IDs in their normal consecutive sequence, assuming you have not applied a sort or filter.
The limited screen shot you show is a task with and ID of 1. I don't know if that is the summary line insertion point for the first subproject or if it is the first task of a subproject.
Can you get what you want? Yes, but it will take some steps to do so. First off, I'm not sure why but at master level setting the font and background colors for summary lines does not work except for summary line that are in a subproject. However, you can use the Marked field for set up formatting for all summary lines at master level, just add that field and set it to "yes" for all summary lines.
The next thing you need to do to get the graphical indicators to show as intended is to check the boxes to show indicators at summary level.
Hope this helps.

John-project Thanks so much for replying. I have the formatting set in the master as well as the subprojects.
This image is a snapshot from my master file. Notice how the first cell under "overall health" is gray?
When I got to print, it looks like this image. This is what has me stumped. I've searched high and low and cannot figure it out. Could it possibly be the graphical indicators I have set up for the overall health column?
Indeed graphical indicators will override cell background color. And, when you go to print, the formatting should appear as expected. Here is a screen shot of Print Preview on my test master file.
