Not sure what you mean by 'background'; minimize to the notification area or send or print in the background, i.e. without dialog windows.

To minimize to the notification area, there is an add-on, TrayHotKey, that works in TB 52.

TrayHotKey works here in TB 52, and another add-on, MinTrayR, also works.

To install, drag the Download Now button and drop it onto Tools/Add-ons in TB.
